I believe the entire Commissary budget should be taken directly from the "pots of $$$s", that we throw away giving to Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan and others, who absolutely hate us... PRIORITIES?well this is interesting.
Keep commissaries open because it offers employment for spouses? Weak......
Why does it have to be either-or there? Why can't we take a hard look at the way we procure supplies and allocate budget to ships so you don't waste hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit on an end of fiscal year spendex buying over-priced consumables that you don't need? With the money you can save there you could probably keep at least half of the commisaries they are closing, and you'd have no impact to the operational budget.Hypothetical question to poke the bear - would you rather have a commissary or $1.4B cut from procurement, the flight hour program and AVDLR?
