Troops plagued by filthy conditions, squatters in military barracks: report

A new government report detailed the dire living conditions some military members face in their barracks across the country, highlighting a problem military leaders have so far struggled to fix.

A report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that young troops living in barracks on military installations have been forced to confront everything from pests such as roaches and bed bugs to toxic waste and even squatters, potentially putting the health and safety of members at risk while damaging morale.

The 118-page report, which was published Monday by the GAO, concluded that military leaders at the Pentagon have not been able to provide proper oversight over the problem and have mostly left the issues up to each individual service to fix.

This administration is focused entirely on woke issues and selling out to our enemies, to include gutting our military!

It is a failure in the command chain, all the way down to the squad level, that this filth is allowed to exist!

Goddamned Obama Flag-rank officers!

I recommend to everyone to not join in the first place. So many do not listen.

American soldiers should suck it up, and get in line behind the Ukrainians. Those soldiers need barracks too.

I’m pretty sure that’s where the money is going. As they say...follow the money.

Well come on, it’s not like they’re illegal aliens. Otherwise they’d be put up in 4 star hotels.

Squatters on military bases? When I was in the Army we had roaches, but not bedbugs. When I saw the word “pests” I thought of Sergeants and 2nd Lt’s.

Funny.

There are those here that are concerned our troops have to suffer this type of degradation.

Then, there are those here that are worried about this same article being posted just a few minutes ago.

This “administration” is no such thing. Rather, it’s a black hole of corruption and venality at an unheard of level.

It’s no longer a race to the left, but a race to the bottom!!😠

Agreed. In my opinion, the smaller and more ill equipped some of ouR military is the less capable they will be for evil Democrats(likely to be the forever presidents) to use against US.
