Something very funny about that movie is pretending that Gitmo was some insanely dangerous and intense place where if you didn’t follow orders you died. It was a torture prison extremely far from any potential threats

Hearing people all of a sudden treat senators who flew bombing missions during Desert Storm like they’re the moral compass is insane to me. Really can’t decide if Trump is going to push us towards true class consciousness or even farther away
