I am a biologist with the Navy.  I hear about "encroachment issues" on a
daily basis.  None have ever been substantiated to my satisfaction. What
"vital need" has ever been stopped by this so-called encroachment?  The
military will do what is necessary when the time comes despite the law.
The real issue here is encroachment on how things are done by the
civilian community.  Civilians role in military issues should be to pay
for it and not get involved in every day matters.

I have e-mailed my Congressman and Senator but have yet to receive an
answer.  I am usually non-political because it seems my thoughts are
never heard and little gets done.  It all becomes a battle of
bureaucracy and nobody ever wins.

I'd like to win this one though, how can I help?
