House Armed Services Committee leader Duncan Hunter will not be trying to create a recreation facility for military personnel and veterans on California’s Santa Rosa Island, located in the Channel Islands National Park. The Los Angeles Times reports that Hunter withdrew his legislation when it ran into resistance from California’s Senate delegation, environmentalists, and the National Park Service. That’s a no-win situation by any measure.
Upon assuming his new post, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David Wolfe prioritized high standards while pledging to ensure Airmen, of all specialties, get the equipment they need to project U.S. airpower.
