The increasing militarization of Hawaii is alarming. Besides the Army, Navy and Air Force trying to retain all their leased lands —Pohakuloa, Makua, Barking Sands, etc. — now the Air Force wants to build more telescopes on Haleakala. The state has a new Military and Community Relations Office. About half of Hawaii’s land (more than 2 million acres) is designated “Sentinel Landscapes” where anything interfering with the “Department of Defense mission” is discouraged.
