DOD report notes 'tables, chairs and cots broken' by Afghans, 'tents and cots ruined by spray paint, human biological matter and holes'

...

A new Department of Defense (DOD) report found that the U.S. military bases that housed Afghan evacuees suffered $260 million in damages, with the Air Force saying the damage was "unrepairable."

The DOD inspector general reported last week that the eight bases housing the refugees in Texas, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Virginia, New Mexico and Indiana are asking for repair money after they sustained over a quarter-billion dollars in damage.

Over 17 days, 120,000 evacuees were taken to the U.S. amid the deadly, botched withdrawal that saw Afghanistan fall under Taliban control.

...

Some of the damage to the buildings left them unusable for the military until the plumbing and walls are repaired.

...

Some bases requested more money from the DOD than others. Fort Bliss in Texas, which housed 11,472 migrants, only asked for over half a million dollars in repair costs, while Fort McCoy in Wisconsin — which housed nearly the same number of refugees — asked for $145.6 million.

The US should have zero Afghan refugees. They had 20 years to fix their dump. They are trash, they deserve trash.
Same for Somalians and Haitians.

Cave men and women who don’t even know how to use a toilet. They use their hands to wipe themselves.

Send the stuff to the US/Mexico border facilities for illegals. Save good stuff for American homeless people, give the crap to illegals at the border.
