Stop the madness. Ft. Benning is the elite training facility for all of the military. Why would anyone want to mess that up.

We need our military. They sacrifice for us everyday, as do their families. We need to fight this one for them!

Now, more than ever before, our country needs strong, well-trained, well-maintained armed forces. Keep Ft Benning strong!

I recognize the cyclical nature of maintaining a standing fighting force in times of diminished conflict; but the investment in retaining trained troops outweighs the expense of recruiting and training raw soldiers every time we need to respond to a crisis.

We have just built over $ 3 Billion in new improvements to Ft Benning. Would it not make sense to downsize older facilities. The waste and overspending must stop!

We cannot afford to have a weakened training infrastructure for our critical armed forces at this difficult crossroads in world history!

Please listen to me. I grew here and watched Ft Benning Georgia since I was old enough to talk. DO NOT MAKE SUCH A FOOLISH MOVE. SO MANY BRAVE SOULS GAVE THEIR LIFE. THE BEST TRAINING ONE CAN HAVE IS HERE AND THEY ARE STILL GIVING THEIR LIFE SO YOU CAN WALK IN FREEDOM. WHERE IS YOUR REASONING FOR SUCH ACTION!! WHERE IS YOUR LOYALTY TO THE SUPERIOR TRAINING THAT IS ABOVE AVERAGE. I AM 82 BY THE WAY AND STILL WMORKING. MY CHOICE TO SERVE MANKIND. WHY SUCH A CHOICE FROM YOU?

I do not agree with this draw down at Ft. Benning, I can't imagine how many life's this will affect. Let's talk about unemployment numbers going up by thousands across the US.

The result of cut backs at Ft. Benning would be devastating to Columbus,Ga. and the surrounding areas.

Please do not cut our troops or our personnel from Fort Benning. We as a nation need a strong army more than ever before. Please take all these threats serious.

During this difficult time in this country, we need our Ft. Henning string and we'll manned. To reduce the manpower of our military is short sighted and puts this country at great risk. The freedoms that we all enjoy didn't come easily. Men and women fought and died to protect our country and the freedom we have. God bless our military and they need our help now.

I am retired civil service and worked at Fort Benning for 30 years in Human Resources. I know the impact these cuts can have on the military,civilians, their families and the economic affect on our entire community. We need Fort Benning to be and stay strong. We need Fort Benning to grow and stay strong.
