Typical republican reaction to this story.

"In Norfolk, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) hastily called a news conference with two congressional Democrats, two congressional Republicans and the Democratic mayors of Norfolk and Suffolk, designed to show bipartisan opposition to the proposed closure of the U.S. Joint Forces Command, one of the Pentagon's 10 combat installations.
McDonnell and others insisted that their opposition was not just about retaining local jobs but about maintaining national security. They said the installation plays a key role in training military personnel to work together, boosting efficiency.
"To take and dismantle the Joint Forces Command -- an effective, efficient, low-cost joint command between all of our services -- I believe is extremely shortsighted and not in the interests of the United States, our national security or Virginia," McDonnell said.
Republicans are always for lower taxes and less government , except when it's THEIR pork!
