2. Now that I think about it, nobody should be asked to do what these guards have to do.

That's a pretty crappy job.

3. I'm pretty sure that's not what they envisioned....

...when they showed them the recruitment videos talking about ''being all you can be.'' But when you think about it, the armed forces and the private prison industry are the only growth industries in the US.

- Besides Wall Street.......

4. what about domestic surveillance drone maintenance technician?

There's bound to be work in that.

[DeSwiss]

5. Yep, if we stay the present course....

...most job opportunities in the future will probably be in security.

6. Oh boo hoo, those poor guards.

Maybe if they weren't consistently mistreating the 'detainees' they wouldn't be called names and 'splashed.'

7. Ya think?

Especially since most of the prisoners there have done nothing to be there in the first place.

10. I don't think most of the guards are the problem. They're rotated out on a regular basis.

Gitmo is a hardship tour if you're NOT involved in prisoner issues.

There will always be bad apples who are unsuited to the task, but all it takes is one or two to cause massive problems and the attendant bad publicity.

The problem with Gitmo is that it's there. I think our justice system can handle these guys--or at least, could handle these guys. Porgie didn't have the faith in our system that most of us do. We don't always get it right, but we get it right more often than most.

8. Free the guards now!

Jesus H; this is journalism? You think any innocents living in cages might be slightly angry at being caged up for all these years?

9. Your establishment media at work.

Those poor guards. The prisoners are so wild and inhuman and unreasonable.
