Please find other cuts - perhaps from those who haven't sacrificed themselves and their family to protect us. Less programs for the illegals and more support for those who make it possible to live in freedom.

I do not believe Ft. Benning will go away, but it is nice to know civilians understand Bennings importance. To many school are located at Benning. There Mech Infrantry, Armor School, Airborne School, and Ranger Course all at Benn9ing.

Please do not make these cuts--for the sake of our country's safety in a time of increased terroristic threats and for the sake of the well-being of those children and families whose income will be adversely affected if these cuts happen. Look more deeply into the personal effects, rather than on just a set of numbers.

Don't cut back our military forces. Our country is very vulnerable to enemy threats - especially under the present administration.

Our Army must stay strong with the treats from Iran, Syria, North Korea, the Islamic State, Russia and China. The proposed reductions are not strategic but forced cuts by sequestration. Ft.Benning is one of the largest and most vital military installations in the world. We must continue to fund it's mission. The Congress should do it's job and not rely on budget cut sequestration.

Our government should continue to keep our Armed Forces strong as we face the treats of the world we now live in. Congress should do it's job and not rely on sequestration cuts. The proposed Army reductions are not on strategic but based on sequestration. Ft.Benning is one of the most vital, largest and technologically advanced military installations in the world. It must remain strong and fully staffed and funded facing treats from North Korea, the Islamic State, Russia, China, Syria, Iran and Afghanistan.
