Why does the navy keep on bombing practice in the ocala forest in florida?

they have been doing it there for a long time, the hunters should know to stay out, if not they are stupid, why ruin another area when this one already is - note - there are likely to be some unexploded bombs in the area - stay out - thats really why

my husband is in the Air Force for that and he really likes the Air Force because we stay put, we don't have to leave all the time we stay on a base we don't go off on a boat all the time (which my daughter and I could not go anyway) and the Air Force is better for families anyway. There is also more kinds of planes to work on as well there are the fighters and the heavies(cargo) then there are the Intel planes so there I think are allot more options, but I am not sure about the Navy.

Because the B-52's carry about 70,000 pounds of bombs on each plane..(G model)   multiply that by 9 B-52's...  630,000 pounds of bombs.. thats 972 bombs on EACH B-52 mission..  . 84 five-hundred pounders..  and 24 seven- hundred- fifty pounders on each plane........  they fly in flights of 9... code name: ARC LIGHT..  so the proper answer is: because they are trying to hide from 972 bombs!!!\ni would also crap my pants...

An area that spans from the tip of south Florida, east to Bahamas, and southeast of Cuba, Where there have been many unexplained disappearences if ships and airplanes, including an entire squadron of bombers in WWII. Some people attribute it to Magnetic forces.

The Arizona is still at pearl harbor. Now mainly submarines go through Pearl Harbor and the submarine facilities there.

That would be the the United States, the Russians equipment is junk and out-dated. Alot of it sat in port to long and rusted away, and they have salvaged most of it out. Our Navy could wipe out a whole country with-out ever setting foot on their land. We have submarines with missiles, and aircraft carriers. You don't have any idea of the firepower, one aircraft carrier would be all that would be needed. I served in the U.S. Navy for 15 years and am currently retired. spc 8, machinist, sp ops, I have 3 purple hearts, and a silver Navy cross from 1982. What is happening with our military right now, is unnecessary with the ground troops, it is ridiculous, and they are expendable to our government. It's all politics on both sides. Good luck to you.

Matter a fact I am pretty sure the U.S.Navy has an installation there anyway. Mass could fight back! There are several submarines at port there.

It's an out of the frying pan into the fire situation. Governmental ecological powers do indeed create havoc over there while common GIs hardly plan to harm anybody deliberately.

No, it is Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. All MPs, CID Agents and Marines go there for training.

Nuclear Sub Commanders, Silo AirForce personnel, TACAMO E-6 Aircraft of the Strategic Air Command, Stealth B-2 pilots all on direction of the National Command Authority under direct orders from the civilian Commander-in-Chief.  (may not be the President if he is out of position or knocked out by a nuclear blast or other doomsday scenario).  Then there's the tactical nuclear weapons that are fired from artillery, mines, missile warheads, gravity bombs and are of low yield compared to strategic weapons that will wipe out cities.  The finger on the buttons of tactical weapons number in the thousands.....sleep tight.

yes, they are developing "bunker buster" cruise missles that "dig" underground and explode. They also make "tactical nukes" which are essentially low yeild nukes fired from a cannon. and there is of course the uranium shells used by U.S. tanks in Iraq. They use uranium to harden the steel of the shells to better pierce armor, although these are not specifically "nukes" they have a lot of the nasty side effects like cancer causing radiation. I don't know if the U.S. still makes ICBM's, but I'm pretty sure they do. I know the most recent ICBM's are multiple warheads essentially 7 nukes in one, each with a blast zone exponentially larger than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

Democrats aren't against the military (that's crazy)--my families are Democrats and most of the men and some of the women in my families have/are serving in the military (both enlisted and officer).\n\nClinton closed the bases based on the military recommendation and because we had too many bases, and to save America some tax paying money.\n\nIt was a good idea to consolidate some of our bases.  There are more closures on Bush Jr's list then Clinton.  And, both are doing it for the same reasons.\n\nA few bases were closes because the state or city didn't want them.  Myrtle Beach, SC was one of them.  They didn't want the base because of the noise pollution, and because they felt it hindered tourism. :(

It is Okinawa.  My Uncle James has been stationed in Okinawa for two years now.  His whole family is waiting for him here in America, and honestly I don't quite understand why he's still there!

Actually this BUSH and his Monkey friends want to keep the war alive and make money. So they create unneccessary problems and make all live in fear.\n\nTherefore all will support the war saying there are home grown terrorist.

They are doing work with lasers on effecting weather and often people have 'cannons' for hail with the idea that the sound waves will break up the ice. I'm not sure about bombing the storm. Storms are created by a range of factors that would not be all effected by a bomb. The website is complicated but talks about the use of high frequency waves to achieve this. most military applications are to do with clearing fog etc...to allow for a strategic advantage.
