I HAVE been a supporter of the Guam military buildup from the beginning, though I have always insisted that it must be a “win-win” for both the civilian and military communities. From my position as chair of the legislature’s military buildup committee, I’ve been pleased to see this view become the conventional wisdom throughout our government and local community.

A FEW hundred years ago in merry old England, so we are told, there was an interesting method of training hunting and tracking dogs. Across the fresh trail of say, a fox, trainers would drag a particularly strong smelling fish such as a red herring. The smart dogs would quickly recognize this as a distraction and learn to keep on the trail of the fox.

IF YOU are a military person figuring out how to beat the enemy, certainly it’s a wise strategy to keep the bad guys confused and in the dark with bad or false signals.

I THINK most of us would agree that the political season on Guam never ends. Now though, it is kicking into high gear and the local news contains even more politically-oriented stories than usual. Add a comment
