When politicians love the military

It irritates me when politicians seem to have little time to address in a timely manner, important issues which affect the military. They always find some way to delay decisions in that regard...decisions which could have an impact on their reelection chances. But look at them jump when it's announced that a military base or command is being eliminated to save tax payer dollars. All of a sudden, they sound off with strong statements about readiness, taking care of people, jobs, etc. Case in point is the recent announcement by the Sec Def to recommend closing JFCOM HQ in Virginia. Political pandering at it's best.
