Well, I'll be darned.
The Republicans want to give away a big chunk of one of YOUR national parks so the military can have a nice quiet place to play, meet, plan wars, etc.
Here's a link to an article about it.

A 53,000-acre National Park island off the coast of Southern California would become a recreation enclave for the military under a proposal for a pending defense bill.
The measure was being circulated by Republican aides for the House Armed Services Committee, chaired by California GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter, according to Democratic congressional aides who made it public Friday.
Hunter proposed a similar measure in May only to drop it amid objections from Democrats and environmentalists. His committee spokesman, Josh Holly, declined comment Friday.
Sounds like this has been tried before. But with all the huge spending bills before Congress right now, there is an opportunity to slip it in. Hopefully, that won't happen.
Just thought I'd share... I would comment, but I'm at work right now.
