Don't kid yourself. Whatever military installations she saved, it was
not for the military.
Bases equal Jobs
Jobs equal Votes
She saved bases for
herself. She's a politician and that's what politicians do.

SR-71 funding was cut off the first time in 1989, during the presidency of George HW Bush.
In fact, a lot of the deep military cuts blamed on Bill Clinton were in fact a product of George HW Bush's administration (i.e. Dick Cheney, then SECDEF)
However, Clinton did cut off funding during reactivation efforts in 1997.
