42. Third Amendment does not apply by any stretch of the imagination

The military has been using the Miramar base since about 1924.
The US Navy did make an attempt to vacate the area in 1954. They offered to sell Miramar to the city of San Diego for $1.00, and back then nobody cared about asbestos or contaminated soil. The city turned down the offer, saying the place was too remote.
I'm proud to be a member of a family of "apologists" for the military BTW. My brother is an up and coming Naval officer. He recently ended a tour commanding a guided missile destroyer.
