Yes, the criticisms of some of their policies and shortcomings are warranted. But you weren't discussing those. Instead, you characterized the USFS as primarily engaged in building roads and logging/deforestation. That is what I objected to. Yes, logging is part of what they manage -- to ensure that it's done in a sustainable and proper manner (without which, corporations would just take it all, especially if the federal lands were privatized). Now whether they are too cozy with the logging industry in some states, that may be the case -- but that's a regulatory/policy question, not at all solved by cutting the USFS.
