Ashley Marinaccio, 20, a college student from Long Branch, New Jersey, said the ferry was like a "floating refugee camp" with "tons of flies," few places to sit or sleep, five toilets, a shortage of toilet paper and several ill passengers. "It got really dirty," Marinaccio said. "We knew that it would be over, and we were going to safety, so it was all we thought about...Marinaccio said it was it "really disappointing" that the U.S. Embassy told the students "we're assessing the situation" while others from the Netherlands, Switzerland and France had been evacuated three days earlier."

Oh, poor spoiled dear. She's use to travelling in far plusher circumstances than this. I wonder if it was a problem that the Perrier was served at room temperature. And the bar wasn't even stocked with Dom! I mean, anyone who'd travel to Lebanon must have high standards and high expectations if they'd vacation in such a posh and high class destination like Lebanon!

I'm REALLY sick of these spoiled rich kids and their bitching that we're not hopping too quickly enough to evac. their dumb a--es. Who told them to go to Lebanon? So we have to send Marines into harm's way and devote MY tax money to evacuate a bunch of college chicks who went to Lebanon because Europe has become too run of the mill for them? Did it ever occur to you that Europeans got their people out quicker BECAUSE EUROPE IS CLOSER TO LEBANON THAN THE US IS YOU TWIT???

We all apologize to you Ashley that the US Navy was busy in the Pacific containing North Korea and China and not waiting off shore from Lebanon just in case you and your airhead, vapid friends got into trouble while backpacking through the Bekaa Valley. Next year, go to Orlando...and pay attention to State Department travel warnings.

If she hadn't shoved herself to the front of the line, perhaps she'd have gotten space on a luxury cruise ship.

I am totally enjoying her discomfort!

Mike, you said it better than I did. I was trying to be nice. I am sure we will be seeing this suffering college student on all the MSM outlets.

I'm REALLY sick of these spoiled rich kids and their bitching...

Me too. But don't worry. In two or three years, or maybe four, she'll be out in the world with her valuable college degree. Then reality will dope-slap her.
