Arnold Palacios: “However, we will not let them have control over Guam and the Pacific region. No way.”

To be frank, I dislike the term, 'Compact Impact.' The connotation is negative, and it understandably makes people bristle.

This would require a collective approach at examining our infrastructure, strategically investing in our island--the needs of the civilian population in Guam, while reaping the added benefit of equipping the best warfighters in the world.

History cannot repeat itself. In other words, Guam should never be the focal point of a violent and brutal conflict in the Pacific.

I suggest that we stop calling it Compact Impact. Let's call it 'Compact Support.'
