He said he had just gotten off the phone with his girlfriend, who had just spoken to her nephew, who told her that he was ordered for an emergency deployment to Gitmo in the next 6 hours from then.
With that piece of info and what I had just told him, he was taking what I was saying very seriously, and is going to stay with his girlfriend for the foreseeable future.
I know this piece of info is inconsequential to the bigger scope of the picture, but to me it only adds to the validity of it with her nephews sudden deployment to Gitmo.
I hope, for the country, that's true and the facility will soon be populated with those that have wronged us...
I also hope for the safety of the troops. The people they will be in charge of wish to do them nothing but harm. They should be treated as such.
