Transcription
Egypt and Lebanon are two different countries, attitude wise and Egypt’s Rafah, and Gaza it’s just terrible, it was just terrible to see. The way the people lived. They lived in, under bushes, right in our camp actually, some of our laborers who worked for us, you know, they uh... We used to have to sign in and out to go out of the gate to go to the restaurant outside of the gate just to get, for exercise to get out of there. We used to think that the guards in the perimeter were there to keep us in rather than keep the Egyptians out and you felt that you were the intruder; we were there to help them and you seen the way they lived. I often thought that we’d of been further ahead instead of sending troops out there we should have sent farmers and industrialists, people that could have taught them how to improve their lot in life and learn to do things but they weren’t interested, they weren’t interested. It was like hand it out, give us what we want and we’ll be happy.
