What the hell is wrong with American evacuess?

Well as you know by now Lebanon is getting bombed and Americans there want out.

So the U.S. government is doing everything possible to accommodate them, sending military vessels and chartering cruize ships to help evacuate them. The government is even going to pick up the entire bill. Yep, free plane trips back to the states for all.

But that's not good enough for some Americans.

"We were on the ship for 5 hours" and "it was uncomfortable" and "it was like a refugee camp".

Well what the hell do you expect when you go to a country that has had multiple warnings from the state department saying 'Don't go there'.

5 hours? You are bitching about 5 hours?

Imagine the thousands of Americans over a hundred years ago travelling across the vast plains on horseback and in covered wagons? It took a hell of a lot longer than 5 hours. If they had the same attitude of these bratty evacuees everyone would still be living on the east coast.

Suck it up and stop your bellyaching!
