STFU you ignorant F***. You’ll bend over for anyone. Did the Canadian forces who were here, pollute the crap out of the island? No, they respected it, they were also fighting in WW2 long before the US ever decided to step in.
Learn some history, and not the US revisionist history you seem to have gobbled up.
Choke on that, you stupid f***.

STFU you ungrateful lil b@%#$@rd!…without these people here you would NOT be alive,nor would any of your family or anyone else in Bermuda.
Read your history,read about what the Nazis would have done to you and a few years laters read about the Russians,then swallow the books you read and choke on them!

There was development – the Ghetto’s that house the single Men and Women and displaced Family’s – some say the PLP done it to increase the East End Vote. — but just ask any real St.Davids Islander what this development has done.

You should build one, while you’re at it, would you mind cleaning up the jet fuel and raw sewage you pumped into the ground water as well?

I’ve been saying that for years. The USN Base played a big part in the growth of our economy.
I know that several hundred Bermudians worked there including myself.
I allway said that the Bermuda Govt at the time was the UBP should have had them stay longer.

As a veteran of the US Navy stationed in bermuda and here for the reunion, I toured the base and was very saddened when exiting the former front gate entrance. It came to mind that it would be nice to have a statue honoring all whom served on the former base because Bermuda means so much to us. To some, this is where we fell in love and married and gave birth to children. I would love to see some type of memorial built for all of us veterans who so proudly served here in Bermuda!

As one of these US Navy vets in attendance, I can tell you we hate that the base is no longer there. Very sad to see buildings in disrepair.

There are NO signs that make it clear this was the former site of
NAS Bermuda or NASA Bermuda.
This is typical of people in Bermuda attempting to rewrite history to suit themselves.

The writing was on the wall long before Sam Donaldson showed up. He just sped up the process a little.

Truth be told the US Naval Base propped up Bermudas economy for the entire time it was here . However according to the UBP it was entirely their astute business acumen that made Bermuda successful .. If the base had pulled out prior to the ’89-’93 recession Bermuda would’ve had to borrow money to stay afloat .

Sam Donaldson has alot to answer for,the Navy Base here in Bermuda should never have been closed.
The Cold War is still with us,Putin and the Russians are still just as devious as they were.

Love to know what they think about the lack of development at the bases
