Sorry to remind people but many of these topics are covertly related.
Remember this headline from two months ago?:

Upolu spared Marine helicopter training, says final EIS
"Pohakuloa Training Area remains on the list in the final EIS."
And if you read the article, there were a lot more helicopters being added to the island. Pohakuloa is a lot closer to Hilo and Puna than Upolu. Noticed the helicopter topics?
B-2's are using Pohakuloa for bombing practice on their way to Guam. You can't see or hear them and the bombs are inert duds, precision dropped on Pohakuloa.
There was a Navy EIS meeting a couple months ago to expand test and training over the entire Big Island as well as around the whole coastline out to many nautical miles.
This is the fact. The US has drawn a red line in the Pacific Ocean, from the North Pole to the South Pole and basically told China, North Korea and Russia, thou shalt not cross. That's not working out that great.
There is going to be a massive move of the US military to the Pacific, mostly forward deployed (Guam), the next land mass is the Hawaiian islands. Oahu is spilling over big time, Kauai is suited for T&T, not ops. The BI has all kinds of op space. That is all.
