For A a lot of the guys is the army [is the] best job since they are to too stupid to have a better job.

On second thought, was that question rather than a statement?

That's pretty messed up, but way out of the scope of a Corpsman with less than a year in the Navy. Not to mention, it's out of the control of any enlisted members. As a fellow Sailor in the U.S. Navy, I can say that there are definitely aspects of our country and government that I take issue with. Many of us didn't join the military out of blind patriotism. The majority of us aren't all "gung-ho", "hooyah" types. Our choice simply may have been the best way to get away from home, or get out of a bad family situation. It may have been to be able to pay for college, or a myriad of other reasons. Whatever the reason, it doesn't mean we agree 100% with the decisions our government makes, but at the same time, we all swore an oath to obey the orders of those above us. It's a mindset that is difficult to reconcile at times, but most of us Navy guys aren't the "boots on the ground", having to deal with directly taking lives, so I take solace in that regard. I suppose that begs the question, am I any less culpable for the actions of our military, even if I'm just an aircraft mechanic or GTMOHM just a Corpsman? Honestly, I can't say, but I will say that I will do whatever I can to keep my brothers and sisters in arms alive, and do my job to the very best of my ability.

So I just checked out GITMO on Google maps out of curiosity, and realized that there are basically two separate parts of the base on either side of the bay. Looks like there is a ferry between them? Do you have any idea how that works?
