Hawai'i's Stryker brigade approved


Gosh, what a surprise, considering that Hawaii's delegation said it was a done deal long before the public review process was complete: "A three-star general at Fort Shafter today approved a $1.5 billion brigade of 291 eight-wheeled armored Stryker vehicles for Hawai'i while acknowledging the environmental and cultural concerns of those who have opposed it." Advertiser story:
About 100 people opposed to the Stryker brigade, including the group DMZ Hawai'i Aloha Aina, yesterday delivered a 40-page-plus "Community Impact Statement" to congressional offices here, criticizing the Army plan and environmental impact statement. "After reviewing the information contained in the Army's Stryker EIS and listening to the concerns of our community, we conclude that the Stryker brigade would be a disaster for the people and the environment of Hawai'i," the group's preamble states. According to the group, the military controls 34 percent of the land in Hawai'i; its activities have resulted in significant pollution over the years, and a Stryker brigade would add to that.
