True, but overseas in a sharia country, they are hostages of another kind.


Realistically, thes people cannot go off the base for entertainment, so they're quite stuck.


And I doubt any of them would have signed on had they known they would be subjected to ever longer, extended tours of duty.
But the United States has military bases in more than just countries that operate under Sharia-like laws. Those bases are likely to have slot machines too (like the naval base in Japan where my first ship was home ported).
