#5 Good grief - the Marines were pulled from guarding naval installations almost forty years ago. Nothing to do with "intimidating locals" and everything to do with politics and budgets. As an aside, the Federal Guv'mint has been dumping money into South D.C. (where the Navy Yard is) since oh, about 2008. Not that it's improved things much, but it's still better than Anacostia. |

#4 Intimidation of the local residents would seem to be a desirable status... |

#3 Lots of important stuff going on the Navy Yard, but ship building ain't one of them. |

#2 Loud noises at a Naval Shipyard? No wonder she called the police! Still probably better safe than sorry. |

#1 ...Better safe than sorry, I suppose. One question though - many years ago, I visited the WNY to see the US Navy Museum (worth the effort), and there were armed MARINES there guarding the place. Didn't see a one of 'em during the news coverage the other day. I've heard one reason they're no longer there is that they 'intimidated' the Local Residents. Seems Anacostia ain't the most delightful place in the world. Mike |
