I was a little concerned when I read today that most of the nations military bases will be forced to cut back on the services that they normally supplied. Due to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the military is looking for ways to cut back on their budgets. Military bases are a prime target as they are not directly related to the war effort.
Some of the services that will be reduced include trash pickup and lawn maintenance. They are also looking into other services to cut as the need to reduce spending hits home. I hope that some other ways are found to stretch the budget while continuing to provide the much needed services that our soldiers need!
