uhhh...Sage which military? I spent 4 years in Iraq and Afghanistan with a defense contractor, even the FOBs outside the green zone were pretty decent living compared to the labor camps.

I think you like the living standards like in the PICS. Every one has its own choice.

Yup,

I mean if you're talking WHEN we were under fire, then we were sleeping in the bunkers, but otherwise I thought it was allright.

Nice to see the Pics. BUT would you please tell me which labour camp you are talking to ? Have to personally visit any labor camp ? Don't go to wrong side. If u have any time, go to Al-quoz and see whats a real situation there. And i am talking about the blue collar labour NOT white collar labour.

I'm assuming English is not your first language. Allow me to clarify for you: CVB's post with the "ministry-approved" images was a joke. He was poking fun at the media censorship in the UAE where only positive things are allowed to be published. Those images aren't actually from a labor camp.

It's not nice to make fun of someone on account of their language barrier. Funny, yes. Nice, no.

Besides, I'm sure someone else can bring religion or some other equally fun topic into this thread and everyone can have a grand old time again.

Who cares, which is the first language. I am not sitting here for an examination. And many thanks for the clarification about the pictures.
