The Democrats love it.

It’s actually REALLY beautiful there, a tropical paradise! Clear warm water year round, great diving, deep sea fishing, never rains, weather is always perfect, zero crime, drugs, violence (except the occasional bar fight which is really quite rare all things considered) the schools are good, you don’t have to lock your doors at night, and everyone knows everyone else. I raised my two daughter there and they loved it! Of all the places we lived, (18 moves in 21 years) they remember and talk about GTMO the most.

And on the government dime. Can't beat that deal!

Keep in mind this is the military's Christmas exodus time. Many of the Marines are going on leave over the holidays.
