No title needed

I'm pretty dumbfounded by the addition of Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the BRAC list. For those of you not following this, the Base Realignment and Closure is working on closing some military installations, and moving divisions from one base to another. (Ft. Riley is slated for a big shake up in that, as well as Ft. Hood, where we call home) Anyway, a surprising addition added to the Pentagon's original list by the BRAC commission is Walter Reed. This is where soldiers go to rehab after war injuries, vets go for treatment, it's a MAJOR deal. That would be like closing the Mayo clinic or something, it's the best facility the military has. I simply cannot imgaine them closing it, considering how important this hospital is in military healthcare. I guess we'll wait and see, what else can we do?
