The purpose of a thing is what ir does. This was always the desired outcome.
I know everyone here knows this but its so annoying to see libs say, “hmmm maybe we consider should close this because a lot of the trainees there became war criminals” as if that wasn’t the point of it in the first place. This is what the US does this because the US is evil should be the lead
What if we don’t close it and instead hire more diverse instructors who will show the students how to inclusively torture
true that would be an even worse take for libs to have. At least they want to close it, but they’re missing the point
