If you have out of control costs and want to save money, just close the bases responsible for reporting the bad news!

Close it! Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Oakland

Close it! Defense Finance and Accounting Service, San Bernardino

Close it! Defense Finance and Accounting Service, San Diego

Close it! Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Seaside


There ya go folks! If they can't account for the money being spent then who will be wiser? Yee Haa... let's spend! spend! spend now! Go Dubya!

Your post might actualy be valid if those were the only bases being closed...

Ahhhh, but you forgot that in order for a conspiracy to exist, there has be evidence that the real target is being hidden from site. Therefore add a huge amount of 'other' bases to the pile while sweeping the accountants under the rug.

Your a fool. The DFAS centers are primarily used for distribution of service memebers pay, retirees pay, and other things. YEah, they also consolodate information about base spending and whatnot, but that is going to be consolodated into a few central locations.

Maybe if you were in the military and had any knowledge about the inner workings, you would know that these places are civilian run, there is virtually no military personnel assigned. Besides, the operations at these particular facilities can be consolodated with the one remaining open in Denver. The military is just eliminating overlap and unneeded redundancy.

Besides, this is minor compaired to the closings during the 90s.

Hmmm...I thought maybe someone handed Dubya a credit card with no limit or something....

Apparently he thinks he has one. And guess who gets to foot the bill?
