I am an Army brat, the son of a West Point grad and career military officer. I was born in an Army Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, and lived oversees for the first 22 years of my life. I am familiar with different cultures having lived in many different countries, but I am also familiar with military protocol. In 2002, I was invited on a trip to war torn Bosnia to visit Pennsylvania National Guard units. So I understood based on prior experience that the GTMO trip may get off as scheduled, but more likely will be rescheduled, and perhaps even cancelled, typically with little if any notice. Thus, I did not try to get too excited about the prospects of visiting GTMO. Public relations trips of this type are vulnerable to the daily political climate and the national elections were just around the corner.
Thus, I was not surprised when the GTMO trip was rescheduled for November 13th, “I appreciate your patience in this matter and I will keep you abreast of any further changes,” I was told in an e-mail.
