Greeting from Guantanamo Bay - Disgusting

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

Just because it's "military personell" doing it, doesn't dismiss the fact that it's insanely stupid and pointless. Why would you even bother doing it. If it was an ordinary giftshop, it wouldn't have been a problem. But a joke or even a giftshop about anything like this is what you call "ludicrous." It's low and pathetic.

Exactly, it's not the gift shop that's the problem - it's the nature of what's being sold there, in relation to the environment in which it's being sold.

i see abolutely nothing humorous about this - to say it is in poor taste is an understatement. these men are being held for years without trial - often without even being charged. we blatantly endorse torture.
this vacation spa for 1.5 million military personnel - what message does this send out to them?
to say there is nothing political about it is ludicrous.

What message is it supposed to send and to whom? The majority of the military and civilian personel who work at Gitmo don't care about politics. It is a job, a job that keeps them away from home for extended periods of time. Is it the fact that these little t-shirts and coffee mugs don't show compassion and buy into the poor innocent victim line in regards to those kept at Gitmo? Is it because(ready yourself)....soldiers are actually proud of being soldiers? Oh, the humanity! mg:

Your going off the whole point, for posts now. You didn't get it before, I highly doubt you'll comprehend it now. Soooooooooooooooooooo

Peace

it is not just for the staff that work there. it is a resort for 1.5 million servicemen.
first we detain people without charges or trials. then we say that torture isn't torture and now we make a joke of it!
