Letter: Blame Bush, not Clinton, for base closures

It's strange that since the 9/11 event, there's been no more political talk of military weakness (although there probably is in some categories).

With the war in Afghanistan, it has been proven that the fighting men and women are well prepared. No weakness there.

If there is a weakness in the military, it would be the downsizing of the military during the years of President Reagan and President Bush, not during President Clinton's years.

And now with this administration, they are wanting to close more Army camps.
