I do have to disagree with this statement even though it's somewhat accurate. The BRAC process started in 1988. There were two BRAC's prior to Clinton coming to office. Yes, he did have a ton of bases closed during his tenure. But, the cold war was over, the slow demise of our military started shortly after Desert Storm, and it was a time when servicemen and women could get out for refusing to take their PT exams (I witnessed this on my boat personally).
Did I like the thought of all of these bases being phased out...no. Was it inevitable? Yes.
