Environmental destruction
The residents of Ocotillo, California asked, begged, pleaded and finally filled out petitions to stop the militant group 'Wind Zero' from getting the authorization to create a training facility on thousands of acres of desert land near the Mexican border. They got the authorization (by county government, and completely ignored the residents who live near where they will build) and will soon begin to start creating the facility. It will greatly destroy the pristine desert, and all wildlife in, near and around it. Plus it is being built very close to the tiny town of Ocotillo. A mostly retirement community, where people come to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Who enjoy nature and living a simple, quiet life. That too will soon be destroyed as helicopters and live ammunition are used daily at the training facility. That is dangerous, and will be very noisy. There are many military veterans who also live in the small town. The possibility of horrific flashbacks, will most likely happen and stress out these true American heroes even more when hearing all of the military-type training. Ocotillo does not want these people in our town, we do not want to have to hear live ammunition being used so close to our town, and we do not want to have to constantly hear helicopters flying over our town. It will be a huge, and noisy complex that will destroy the environment, the native species of animal that live in this desert, and our peace and quiet. They keep saying that everyone supports them, but that is a big, huge lie! The city and residents of Ocotillo DO NOT support them. Not now, not ever.
