This comes as the military is bearing the brunt of budget cuts and U.S. servicemen are being murdered in Afghanistan for burning Qurans already desecrated by the writings of other jihadist prisoners.

Someone working at Gitmo should load up a fertilizer spreader with broken glass and spread it all over the field.
