Guam, on one hand, is a US territory; on the other, it has recognition from the US as a "unrepresented nation."

Really sad. Hope he makes it home alive, and somehow beats the odds.

Thousands? I hope they don’t let in too many at once. If they drown, would they be considered Covid deaths?

I have no problem with people who want to get vaccinated. When the government steps in and says “get vaccinated or else” that’s where the problems start.

If you call yourself any kind of “snob”, you’re actually just a pretentious douche.

“Vaccination” and “mandatory” go together like a horse and carriage.
The Pfascists just can’t leave any pennies on the table.

Well, that is good to know.
What is the preferred local food?

The Marines are staying in a resort, so they’re getting regular hotel meals, and also booze. Locally, it looks like you can get chicken, beef, pork, or fish cooked up with rice.

Back when we live in Japan, we took a week's vacation on Guam. Liked it way better than Hawaii. For starters, the natives are genuinely friendly and like tourists, not just their $$. Beach was closed one day due to jellyfish; the locals directed us to a decent public swimming pool five minutes drive away. Even the local Navy PX (located on a base that also surrounds a national park) has a don't ask don't tell policy if you want to do some local shopping. At least they did back then.
Nice weather, nice people usually aren't found in one package. But they are on Guam.

My daughter and her USMC unit are in Guam right now. She says it’s nice. I was stationed there with the Air Force for 2 1/2 years in the late 70’s/early 80’s. It was a nice place and I liked it a lot. I wish I had made more of my time there. I knew one old buck sergeant who got there after Vietnam and had managed to stay there past the standard 2 year assignment. He bought several houses there and planned on retiring there. The people were nice and the beaches were pristine and beautiful. The local food was great (kind of like Filipino food), but being an American territory you could get just about any American food you wanted, especially on base if you were military.

You could also be ironically self-mocking.

At one time this used to be a conservative site. The pandemic exposed a lot of pretenders.
