no NO and HELL NO. I was born in Guantanamo and I believe that GTMO should never be returned to Cuba. Even if Cuba return to be a democratic country in the future, that area belongs to the USA and shall remain a USA Naval base

no No, GTMO is not "of the cold war era" and no GTMO was not "taken". Brush up on your history folks.

yes But we should make sure the base is ready to be given over and preservation efforts are made.
