Other: I believe the City owes an explanation to its citizens regarding the military maneuvers that took place last night just outside Switchyard Park. Those were Special Operations Aviation Regiments apparently performing training maneuvers in the midst of a residential area. There are training areas all over Ft Bragg, Quantico and Ft Campbell that look like towns & buildings, where they can actually use live ammunition to do these types of maneuvers. I understand our military needs to train - but why Bloomington? It seems way out of the ordinary.
