>> And guantanamo bay is on the south side of Cuba, not even between Cuba and the US

> It's relevant to the macho point of Jack Nicholson's character talking a bunch of shit about how he defends us. The Guantanamo base is irrelevant

You think a naval base on Cuba is “irrelevant” because it’s on the south side of the island and not the north side?

You think Cuba represents a naval threat to the mainland US? I had higher expectations for you based on your other comments.

Soviet-allied Cuba was a military threat to the U.S. in 1986 which is when the movie is set. Don’t forget the movie was written before the fall of the Soviet Union. And even when it came out in 1992, it wasn’t clear to audiences that the cold war was really over.

Is Cuba a military threat today? No. But that’s because we have had a navel base there for more than a century, and the Soviet Union is long gone.
