The US Army is having problems extending the lease of the landfill site in Hawaii

The US military is seeking to preserve more than nine thousand hectares of land that it leases from the state in the Pocahuloa training area. According to them, this site is not only key for combat readiness in the Pacific Ocean, but also provides access to 44,5 thousand hectares of adjacent land on vast training grounds.

The site's lease expires in 2029, so the fate of the site worries both the US Army and community groups opposing the militarization of Hawaii. These islands have become a strategic United States target in the Pacific since the establishment of the Pearl Harbor naval base and Schofield Barracks in 1908.

Hawaiian cultural figures Clarence "Ku" Ching and Mary Maxine Cahaulelio filed a lawsuit against the Department of Lands and Natural Resources in 2014, claiming that the state had violated its obligations by not enforcing the lease.

According to Kaila Kazihiro, who is a member of the Hawaii Peace and Justice group, community members are concerned that the army wants to extend the lease. He considers the actions of the military unacceptable.

The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, and the US Army Reserve use this proving ground, which is considered the Pacific's premier training area. It is the largest in Hawaii. It can be used for full-scale combined-arms field training of units up to a brigade (3,5 thousand people). The training ground is considered the primary training area for the Marines.

This is the only American training center in the Pacific region (on the territory of the United States), which is capable of deploying military units larger than a company for conducting live shooting and maneuvers.

I think the Merikatos will settle the issue of the extension in their favor. I would like, of course, exactly the opposite.

When I read that the United States has problems, even if it is Trump's ordinary constipation, my heart overflows with joy involuntarily ...

Конечно.
It is not in vain that they have taken care of it in advance for nine years.
Even if Hawaii is against it, they just change the government

I propose to the Hawaiians, in protest, to burn the American flag, as is now customary in some cities in the United States. And declare Hawaii a free republic. I've already read about this somewhere, it seems from Heinlein.

When I read that the USA is in trouble

They shift their problems onto others. If they write that the United States has problems, then someone starts them.

As Panikovsky would say "wretched and insignificant persons!"

Better to take out the trash.

It would not be bad to send them to help "Green" , no, while not "little men", and Greenpeace ...

Greenpeace is unlikely to be interested in this. Not for this they receive their greens.

“At the end of August, the Greenpeace team conducted a study on the shores of the Nizhne-Svirsky nature reserve. We went to an area closed from people, and in the end we collected more than 200 kilograms of garbage: plastic bottles, food containers, disposable dishes.

The list did not differ much from what we found on Baikal and the Curonian Spit. We want to show you some findings that tell more about the problem than numbers and kilograms. "

What problems they are worried about.

The lease period for the plot expires in 2029

So let them pack their bags, in advance ...

I never thought there were so many US warriors from the Hawaiian Islands in VO!

[akarfoxhound]

Now it turns out that these two Hawaiian public figures "eat porridge badly and do not obey their mother", which violates the sacred law of democracy, followed by fever, diarrhea, arrest, sudden death (all this in any order). And that's all. Where have you seen that in the colony of 2 aborigines the only large landfill was squeezed? They got worried at the Pentagon, yeah ...

In those parts of the warriors with civilians old graters. In the materials of the commissions investigating the Day of Shame, there was evidence that the army's air defense exercises had to be carried out without taking fire - because most of the positions were on private land, and the owners of these lands were extremely against the fact that soldiers roamed their territory. It came down to threats to the army leadership of troubles from the Senate with Congress, as well as an increase in the prices and timing of the construction of military facilities.
