Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says the prison and Guantanamo Bay is “a psychological scar on our national values.”

Dempsey says the facility at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba “does create a psychological scar on our national values. Whether it should or not, it does.”

The U.S. has transferred of a number of detainees recently as President Barack Obama tries to make progress toward his goal of closing Guantanamo.

The prison population now is 127.

Dempsey says there still are “dozens” who must be held.

He tells “Fox News Sunday” that’s a policy decision for elected officials – what to do if these detainees shouldn’t be released and Congress doesn’t allow them to be brought to the United States.

    I think “a psychological scar on our national values” is an apt description.

      that’s assuming the values are decent – you have the kkk, militias, gun toters – whose values are being referred to? The nice ones seem more like written words whose practise is diminishing.

    Well I hope the ones who say they listen to the needs, wants and cares of the generals listens to this one.
    but at last the right only gives that lip service if they need the military.
