Man, can a city get its panty's bunched any tighter? The city of Port Angeles, WA is all up in arms because the US ARMY did a training exercise and forgot to tell the city. OH MY, WE MUST BE UNDER ATTACK BY HELICOPTERS. Sure the training can be noisy. But the Army apologized to the Mayor in person but she is demanding that the Army apologize in a public meeting. What a bimbo. That sound was the price of freedom. IF you don't like it, MOVE

Thank you for this post. As a prior service US Marine we got in trouble on occasion for forgetting to notify the civilian population sometimes of training exercises. I was always of the opinion that if they didn't like it, we could always move the base away from their area and see how they would like the loss of income from us not being there.

Just an old Jarheads opinion.

being an old fart, I remember once when Jacksonville paid all it's Marines and civilians in two dollar bills as a political statement to show how much the community depended on the base, it was a disaster!you couldn't close a cash register and had to carry cash around in a sack , less than a week later the mayor shut his pie hole about the base being a nuisance and a massive recall of the bills was initiated by the feds, on a different note, the feds found some ladies that had some splainin to do about where they got all them bills

Not Helicopters but manned "Drones".

Yeah - slightly different tack we get folks moving out of London into the countryside and then complaining of 'farm smells'!!!!

When I first moved to the PDRK (People's Demokratik Republik of Kalifornia) we had dairies all over the place. Then as they started building up people began to complain & the dairies began to disappear. Now they complain about the high price of milk.
