U.S. military buildup angers Guam http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/21/AR2010032101025.html?hpid=topnews
This remote Pacific island is home to U.S. citizens who are fervent supporters of the military, as measured by their record of fighting and dying in America's recent wars. But they are angry about a major military buildup here, which the government of Guam and many residents say is being grossly underfunded.
They fear the construction of a new U.S. Marine Corps base will overwhelm the island's already inadequate water and sewage systems, as well as its port, power grid, hospital, highways and social services.
