Why Hawaii Has So Many Military Bases

[@aryamanarukh]

Audio cuts very abruptly at the end and the point sounds incomplete

[@kenosabi]

Because of where hawaii sits geographically. Its a spot that holds great strategic importance.

[@Broadvay]

Yup👍

Got to go to Fort Shafter (military base) for a bowling tournament from kauai! Saw military vehicles near the base parked nearby.

At 5:05 the stock footage is of a British aircraft carrier, the "Q" on the flight deck means this is HMS Queen Elizabeth II R08, not the HMS Prince of Wales.

[@Broadvay]

Great info👍

[@Caderic]

I was going to say the same thing. There was a clip earlier too, of a British carrier. I'm like, come on, if our going to talk about US forces, do use footage of British equipment.

[@Anolaana]

Yeah the script for this video is super weird and full of typos too. I don't really trust it.

[@brianmutcher9585]

It’s better to have 11 military bases, because it’s harder for any foreign power to attack 11 bases instead of just a few bases. The American military learned that after the pearl harbour attack by Japan in WW2

[@rarakawa1]

Military buys and rents our precious housing while they could stay in Military housing which was built with our tax dollars and sit vacant. I just saw a sign at Wheeler saying now Leasing?! So we cannot afford to live in our own aina and because housing prices are driven up by military with tax free benefits, COLA, and housing allowance and we have to live and rent on bases?!

[@authorpsudonym4907]

This is why my mom moved away ):

[@brianmutcher9585]

Listen buddy didn’t anyone tell you it’s a waste of money to rent instead of owning property? Didn’t anyone tell you it’s the American dream to own your own nice house in the suburbs? So why shouldn’t it be the same for military member’s ? Did it occur to,you they want to own their own homes too? When you rent your just paying your landlords mortgage and you don’t get any of that money in return when you move out. At least with a mortgage most of the time what you put into it for payment’s you will get back when it’s sold.

Unfortunately, Hawaii would be one of the first places hit if we ever get a nuclear conflict. It is certainly within range of the PLA Navy's Type 094 ballistic missile submarines operating in the East China Sea.

[@Eyes_of_Oryx]

Unfortunately U.S. mainland will be hit only 20 minutes later. So it’s not really “unfortunate”. The entire world is at risk as soon as 1 nuke is launched.

[@rrredrum187]

fuckk brah tell them come on land 😂

[@evelyneelianegoutille4916]

It is true ; all that army suplie puts Hawaï in great danger in case of conflict, ... and all those militaries are not even hawaïen. INVASION. LEAVE HAWAÏ ALONE!!!

[@kaloeaa]

They say we need them but they can never admit they need us! I get it the worlds crazy but we were historically alleys with every great nation before our illegal over throw! If America wasn’t here we would have friendly diplomatic relations with all the Pacific Ocean neighbors. We were never reluctant to change. Our kinds sent our people to university in the mainland and all around the world were never stubborn but we kept our values. Hawaii is a sovereign kingdom and one day maybe again to preserve our identity! We have homestead but the list is 99+ years long. We want allies and appreciate the opportunity to be apart of the most powerful, diverse democracy to ever exist but we’re not asking for charity just to be heard. We’re not crying but playing patient out world was turned inside out and upside down less than 70 years ago and we’re doing fine but our battle is far from over. We just want our lineage to strive on and our situation is bleak but with our small numbers and humble hearts controlled by our wisdom we will prosper to take care of our islands and land that gave us the chance to be who we are.

[@Robert-eg2oy]

There are 21 military bases on Hawaii that have out lived their usefulness. That land should be turned over to the Hawaiian people so that affordable housing can be built for the Hawaiian people.

[@smccaull]

uhhh maybe 5% overall but useable land is way more. those red markings also dont show everywhere. missing a few spots

[@hebneh]

Oddly, virtually none of the video clips shown here are of Hawaii.

[@cagedtigersteve]

That was not an American aircraft carrier. LOL

[@jdb10715]

Maui is the most strategic place for the military. Hmm any connection with those so called 'natural' fires there. For some strange reason the blue roofed houses of the elite like Ophra escaped those fires.

[@DevoutSkeptic]

Careful, I think that tinfoil hat is cutting off the circulation to your brain.

[@donnawin234]

Mind you this video was done 7 months ago. But what gets me if we have military and a lot of different things we could have used during the fires in Maui. Oh that's right they're owned by the government I'm bad 🤑🤑🤑🔥

[@SpoofyJuliani]

The military did support Maui. You have no idea what you’re talking about 😂

[@l82nite]

Way, way, way to many. With technology today, they are not needed. Pearl should be shut down, along with the Marine and army base. With the closing of the fuel tanks, ships have no reason to stop here. Only one air base is relevant and needed. People and gooberment here don't want the military here. What they don't understand is how much money the military brings into the state. But hawaii keeps on biting the hand that feeds it.

[@Broadvay]

Yeah I think so too, but I strategically it is important for America and it's safety, but a base on probably an empty island would've be better.

[@Caderic]

Show of force.
