Upgrading Gitmo

It's easy to take potshots at the military for spending upwards of $500 million (according to the Washington Post) to upgrade the facility at Guantanamo Bay since the beginning of the war on terror. I, for one, don't think it's a big deal to provide service members with access to creature comforts like Starbucks and KFC. And athletic fields, running tracks and even volleyball courts serve a genuine purpose in not only providing recreation but promoting troops' physical fitness.

But $296,000 for a go-kart track? Really?
