Newer troops don't have that same experience.

If the troops are deployed or if the base shuts down altogether, bad news for rentals...

The last time a troop reduction was even mentioned, lawmakers on both sides of the border put the kibosh on it reeeal quick.Regardless of what the state/national economy does, service members on military bases get paid the 1st and the 15th, guaranteed.The DoD long ago implemented measures to reduce the impact on local economies during troop deployments, meaning gone are the days of a "mass exodus" of soldiers during deployments.

Hood in Killeen and it is a pretty poor investment currently because all of the troops are deployed.

In addition to that, the military continues to add troops out there.

If the military decides to relocate all or some of its troops the apartment market will really suffer.

Try the Marines...LOL, my boy scout troop was rougher than that, that looks like Sunday morning prayer time to me!

            Actually yes, likely I will be in Honolulu in November, a good friend is a killer hooper and fire dancer that lives there and it looks like her troop will have a big show booked that I'd come out for.  

It doesn't look good when you admit to getting huge benefits from a government program and then want to take away those benefits for others.Now, even if that doesn't become an issue, remember that Ryan voted for TARP, he voted for the auto bailouts, he voted for Medicare expansion, he voted for housing subsidies, he voted for unemployment extensions, he voted for a national ID, he voted for making the patriot act permanent, he voted for surveillance without a warrant, he voted fro no child left behind, he voted for keeping troops in Iraq indefinitely, and he voted for the 2008 and 2009 stimulus.And then he stands up and claims he's for smaller government, fewer handouts and less regulation.While there may be justifiable reason for it, the fact is, his record doesn't support his stated views...and that's never a good thing for a politician.

When I'm elected president, I'm pulling our troops back from Europe and everywhere else that doesn't appreciate us.
