Letter: Military’s proposed land lease is a token gesture

The headline, “Army proposes ending leases on state lands ahead of expiration,” in an article published on Nov. 4 is misleading. What the military is offering amounts to a token gesture. Example: The military controls 133,000 acres at Pohakuloa on Hawaii island. It is going to terminate leases on only 3,000 acres. That leaves 130,000 acres in military hands. Token.
