[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1724379, member: 198"] Small extended centers that service towns that are located outside a base with significant cuts could be hurt. It just all depends on how many are cut. I read another article today that said that Fort Brag is losing around 3000. Doesn't sound like allot but ask most UPS drivers that worked near an army base at the height of the war in Iraq and they'll tell you that it was like a ghost town with that many (or less) deployed. Imagine if they, along with their families if they have them, were gone permanently. Bigger buildings wouldn't be hurt so much if at all. If an area has a hub then that means they have plenty of other industry and other things to keep the economy going. There are whole towns in this country that depend on the bases. Lots of towns have been crippled just by one factory closing. It could happen with troop cuts that are in the thousands. I hope it doesn't happen to anyone though. [/QUOTE]
