West Point Alumni Travel Program - Cuba 2013

Here's another head scratcher and WTF moment. Check out the terminology and flowery language to describe not only the program, but to sidestep that Cuba is a brutal communist dictatorship.

Mystery??? Just ask the over millions in exile about Cuba.

Turbulent past? Are we talking about the past 54 years of the mafia dictatorship?

Vintage 1950's cars? Are you saying it's cool, but overlooking it's REALLY SAD that's what the Cuban people are stuck with and have to survive on!

Economic and political heritage? communist dictatorship for the last 54 years and millions prefer to flee BECAUSE of the POLITICAL and ECONOMIC conditions!

Here is the West Point Alumni travel Program:

CUBA. Historically rich. Culturally diverse. Environmentally magnificent. For decades, the Caribbean's largest island--roughly 90 miles away from U.S. soil--has been but a mystery, perceived through secondhand sources and beyond the grasp of American travelers.
