Sara, I think youre a great girl, but this guy is completely biased. People from every other country in the world can see how rediculous it is that a place like Guantanamo Bay exists (in cuba no less, how ironic) and that it's people don't happen to question what goes on there. These people may be "scumbags" but a lot of them have little to no evidence against them, and the US is going terrorist crazy and simply racially profiling people who look of middle-eastern descent. It's completely rediculous. I don't think the US should have a right to throw 100 innocent people in jail to maybe get some info out of one guy. It's not humane. What one person saw on a scheduled tour of visit (which the US gov't knew would be promoted by the author) seems very glassed over to what the real truth is.
I'm not pretending I know what's really going on there, or that I beleive that all these people are innocent. All I'm saying is that theer is no way in hell everything is peachy-keen down there.
i don't think that everything is peachy kean either..i've seen the pictures of us soliders degrading prisoners and i don't think it's fair...but more so, what i think is LESS fair is that this country holds forigeners, immigrants and yes, sometimes terrorist higher then it's own people...these people DO get cared for better then americans, it's not all shame on our part

my husband is a united states marine...we have had friends and he has had even more close people to him then me serve in places like that and places worse then that things you cant possibly imagine....things that when you hear sound shocking. I am not going to lie there are better military members but the majority of the people there are there because they want to make a difference in the world because they choose to be...they dont get paid shit to do this job...now thats some motherfucking dedication. I think this article holds more truths then people realize or maybe they just dont want to realize! I think sometimes the racial profiling can get out of hand..but honestly what the fuck are they supposed to do? I say to those that think they know run for government then. I totally think this was a worthy post!
thank you very much...people tend to think the worst of the military because that's how the media paints them...no one is saying that there WASN'T some wrong doing to these prisioners, but i'm sick and tired of them being the squeeky wheels getting the grease...there are hundreds of thousands of soilders like your husband, out there to make a difference, out there to HELP...no one sees that...that's because that doesn't make for interesting news and ratings
I agree completely. Its kind of saddening though! Sometimes I get really angry and frustrated because when my husband spends weeks away sometimes months from me I feel like the general population doesnt care and if they dont care why should I be sacrificing my husband! This country is so damn backwards. I think you are def making good points about it there needs to be more people like that that speak out...it means alot to me!
it IS saddening how a lot of this country feels towards the military...it's actually sickening...these people sit here under the blanket of protection that selfless men and women provide for them and then SHUN them for doing what's needed to make that protection possible...people should be ashamed of themselves...the next time you talk to your husband, please thank him, a million times over...let him know that there ARE people in this country who think about him AND you, constantly...
