Diego Garcia, the stolen islands.

[BillyBob]

This is Diego Garcia, the inhabitants of which were illegally expelled from their homeland by the British government in order to hand the islands over to the US to build a military base.

Been there. While in the navy, we were protecting the island while flying our bombers to perform attacks against Afghanistan right after 9/11. I actaully transferred from there and spent 3 days there waiting for a flight to singapore.

Its 100% military. But the scenes and diving are great. Theres also a lot of lonely US Air force gals there :giverose:
