NO country would go to war for frivolous reasons like maintaining a military base, because you're sure to lose much, much more than that in the conflict. No, greek, nations go to war to defend their sovereign RIGHTS, and if Cuba tried to attack Gitmo by force, we'd defend it. The base isn't what the fighting would be about.
