I have first hand knowledge of it since while assigned to the 1 ID at Ft Riley my unit had to go down there and guard them a couple for a couple of months. The people of Ft Smith were great. The people we had housed at Chaffee, by the time I was there, were definelty members of Cuban society that Castro wanted to get rid of and dumped on us. A lot of the folks suffered various degrees of mental illnesses, stories available on request, and other crimminals he simply unloaded. There is a definite Arkansas/Cuba connection, but of course older then the last 7 years for some reason just doesn't make it on to folks radar screens anymore.
