Why shouldn't we relocate DLI and sell the land?
Shouldn't the military consider issues like this given the high cost of ongoing operations? Note that many corporations have moved their headquarters from expensive places like Manhattan to cheaper real estate . . .

Why bother when the Government goes and GIVES AWAY VALUABLE PUBLIC LANDS for mineral rights leases for a whole $0.15 per acre ?!?!?!?!
