Now for explaining why we're here. Yeah Cuba has been a thorn in the side of the U.S. for awhile. (Bay of Pigs invasion, Cuban Missile Crisis etc.) That doesn't have much to do with it. Gtmo, (Guantonomo bay Cuba our naval base.) is remote, and a perfect place for some bombing target practice. You're at the open ocean, you're not destroying anything, (All the reefs are not closer to shore.) so why not place some targets on the water? The base will be expanding for this reason, more than 3000 people are expected to come here next year.
Oh and one last thing. How do I know all this? Besides the fact that I live here. There is a person from Puerto Rico who works with the Seabees. (The Cubans who come to the base to work. The pay is crap in Cuba, so a few come here.) He's seen the targets being set up, and for some reason beyond my civilian knowledge, knows a lot about what's going on.
