I was in and out of Gitmo from Oct 1962 to Sep 1964 courtesy of the US Navy.

Thanks to the Castro boys, Fidel and Raúl Castro, the tension was all ways high on the base. Of course that was during and immediately after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Castros were not happy that they didn’t get to help launch nukes into America.

I have talked to current/past sailors, who have served in or out of Gitmo, and most of them agreed with me:

They/we/I had rather be at sea than in Gitmo. The reality of being at sea in a Navy ship, for most of us is like being on a seagoing prison. You can’t go anywhere except on your ship unlike a Princess Cruise for fun and relaxing. Yet, we preferred to be at sea than docked at Gitmo or operating out of Gitmo.

Gitmo is a hot and miserable place with high humidity with hurricanes to break up the constant heat.

Our Marines, the protectors of US sailors around the world for decades run Gitmo Shores as tight or tighter than any prison in America.

So try these traitors, find them guilty and send them on a one way trip to Gitmo shores. A fitting terminal hell for those, who tried for 8 years to close Gitmo to protect their Islamic buddies in Gitmo.

Then, we can send them postcards showing great American places and tell them, “Enjoy Gitmo Shores, and we are glad you are there!”
