    As general observations,

    It would be costly to relocate an entire Federal agency, and it would take until 2030 according to this article. That can’t help but impair readiness.

    No shit it’s political. Everything that is done by politicians is political at some level. Dems want to reward Colorado and they gain nothing by trying to appease Alabama since nothing Dems do is going to flip Alabama blue.

      So by your logic they would just completely shut down space command at Cheyenne Mountain while building the base in Alabama? How stupid do you think our military leaders are lol?

      It was DOD’s decision to tap Alabama in the first place because of budget and it’s DOD’s decision to pull out because it’s bad for national security. I’m not sure why you distrust or military so much but their just trying to protect us.
