At Least It's Not Iraq

Sounds like the movie programming department at Gitmo is run by a 6 year old.

I've been in Gitmo for over a year now and am starting to pressure the powers that be to get me back to the States to a position at SOUTHCOM. I've blogged about the headache of being here in terms of isolation and not being as good as life in the States (there are some definite financial pros however). You'll sometimes hear someone throw around the phrase "At least it's not Iraq" as a reminder that although it's not the States it's not nearly as bad as others have it. Sure, our movie theatre is outdoors and so old you often can't understand a word of what's going on (which may be a plus because I'll never understand why those who select the movies we screen choose the movies they do -- I think two months of non-stop screenings The Spongebob Squarepants Movie was only done to torture us) and the NEX never seems to have the items everyone wants (and yet we still buy bad DVDs for $26 a pop because we're bored) and our $90 a month internet crawls along at dial-up speeds but there's one positive that always stands out for everyone: we're not being shot at.
