It would be a savings for our country for sure and like you said it makes far more sense to keep the "targets" mobile rather than static.ttueoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943444481900882687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31608972.post-69106564287943778682017-07-22T23:43:38.675-07:002017-07-22T23:43:38.675-07:00We have a few bases on Guam.

A carrier is harder to target than a static position. About the only thing a carrier cant do,that Guam can, is handle heavy bombers, (Which are of little use) and provide navel base facilities that are not really necessary. So, while it may be nice to have a "listening post" in the west pacific, with our satellites and submarines, it is not a needed base. It IS very expensive and should be allowed to become its own nation. We saved them from the Spanish a hundred and twenty years ago. Now they are grown up and should stand on their own.
