Re: your July 15 article, “Base supporters blast realignment plan”:

I think the presentation by Point Mugu supporters to the Base Realignment and Closure Committee may backfire.

If I were on the BRAC Committee and had to listen to retired Rear Adm. George Strohsahl and others tell us our analysis was flawed, our conclusions in error, and our committee work poor in general, I would be highly insulted and irritated. As a committee member (hypothetical) who had spent much time on the effort, I would probably change my recommendation to immediate base closure.
