#1 EFL - I thought the HQ to protect the Capitol was the Pentagon

No. The Pentagon is a military office building and not a secure, defensible installation -- hell, it's got its own subway stop and bus loading area. The Pentagon is a target, not a headquarters.

#3 I've been to a couple of functions at Ft. McNair and I know exactly why HQ is being sited there...it's absolutely beautiful! Stunning river views, golf course, pool, lots of green space, stately homes for the officers; truly the only choice in Washington for your discriminating (insert acronym for the guy whose job it is to pick these sorts of things).

#4 The golf course is the key, lots of manuever room there.

Hopefully, the new wheeled Strykers will not be as hard on the turf as the Bradleys with those nasty ol' treads.
