Are all the Military in faraway, remote places able to watch the super bowl?

Depends on their behavior.

A little punishment or reward action.

Only the ones that are managing to behave well. It should be a reward for good behavior and a stick to punish bad behavior.

Unless, of course, he tells them they can and if one of his guests screws up, take the privilege from all.

How can the U.N. Human Rights commission look itself in the mirror not stopping the good sheriff from dressing his inmates in pink?

LMAO

No.

To quote Gunnery Sergent Hartman:
“You are ALL EQUALLY WORTHLESS!”

If they wanted to watch the Super Bowl, they shouldn’t have committed the crime.

Definitely! It is even bigger on bases overseas. I spent 10 years overseas and each base regardless of Iraq, Korea, Italy always showed the Superbowl.
