9. There’s A Strong Military Presence
Our military has roughly 2000 soldiers occupying the Naval base located in southeastern Cuba. That seems like a lofty number of highly skilled soldiers to be watching over just 50 or so detainees, doesn’t it? A sizeable portion of our population would argue that our military presence around the world is too large. America, was once a respected global power, and it needs to keep its own house in order before poking its nose into the problems of the rest of the world. Those American citizens would have a valid argument, wouldn’t they? Despite which side of the fence you’re on, it seems rather peculiar that we would need so many of our military personnel stationed anywhere besides here at home.
