[Vision2020] Guantanamo Bay

[Ralph Nielsen]

I remember, when I was still living in Canada, reading about how very  
annoyed the Americans were when that dirty Communist Fidel Castro  
closed the whorehouses outside Guantanamo Naval Base.

? Guantanamo Bay has had an unsavory reputation for many years - even?

? before the Cuban revolution. The U.S. leased it in 1903, and in 1934?

? the lease was renewed "in perpetuity" until both parties agree to?

? terminate it. The U.S. Navy has used it for a long time for periodic?

? refresher training - Atlantic Fleet ships spend a few days or weeks?

? operating out of Gitmo practicing gunnery, damage control, etc.?

? Before the Cuban revolution in 1959, sailors could go off base on?

? liberty. I was there in the 60s and 70s when liberty (shore-leave)?

? meant staying on base. As I recall, it wasn't that bad. There was a?

? golf course, ball diamonds, swimming, and cheap beer at the club. At?

? least we could stretch our legs. I learned this song in the early?

? 60s - obviously it refers to pre-revolution days. WARNING - this is?

? a sailors' song. Naturally, it's raunchy and FOR MATURE AUDIENCES  
ONLY.?
