Mold Is Consuming Fort Stewart’s Barracks as a Pattern Emerges Across the Army
Military News ^ | 09/16/22 | Steve Beynon

Posted on 09/19/2022 5:44:35 AM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

After a long mission in Europe, a soldier returned to his Fort Stewart barracks only to discover mold had completely consumed his room. The infestation wasn't only on the walls; his bags and bed turned black and green, encrusted in mold. Most of his belongings were ruined.

Broken air conditioners in the sweltering, humid Georgia heat; poor ventilation; and little to no barracks maintenance have created a decades-long breeding ground for mold, which soldiers repeatedly try to clean to no avail.

"This is the reason a lot of us are getting out," the soldier who found his room blanketed in mold and who is leaving the Army in a few months told Military.com. "We can't live like this. … It's up to junior soldiers to get this stuff out to [the press] or on social media, and that's the only way senior leaders are going to know they failed."

“little to no barracks maintenance “

But we got how many billions to send to the criminals in Ukraine?

Our fighting forces get shiite,
but the Invester Class and Crony Connected Crooks of the MI Complex get trillions.

As St Greta of Thunberg would decry:
How Dare You!

Hire “Migrants” to get the job done cheaply.

Sorry, we have to take care of our illegal immigrant voters first. This can wait, but you can apply for food stamps in the mean time. Not all is lost.

Reward what you want more of (in this case endless wars and illegal invaders) and punish what you want less of (volunteer army of professionals loyal to America).

Cue the Ambulance Chaser Lawyers in 3, 2, 1. “Where you stationed at Camp Mold for at least one hour? You may be entitled to a large cash award.”

The government bureaucrats and the military brass have learned little or nothing from Camp Lejeune.

Probably the biggest thing they’ve learned is that the crime is not in the doing, the crime is in the getting caught

IMO, here's the real problem: the breakdown in the chain of command in the military. The Sam Damons have been replaced by Courtney Massengales. The focus is not on the mission, and the servicemembers that enable mission success.

Someone should be fired over this, but that's not going to happen in today's military.

Doesn’t surprise me, Army and Navy housing are consistently ranked extremely low. I was in Panama in the late 80s, there was Army and Air Force housing right across the street from each other. All built at the same time, early 1930s. AF housing had been retrofitted with central air, was regularly painted and maintained. Army had no AC, no paint, just nasty. Navy housing was similar - no AC and they whitewashed it occasionally. Not surprisingly, there were more requests for interservice transfer from all other services to the Air Force in Panama than anywhere else in the world.

Neither the enemedia nor the senior military leaders give a crap. Giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States is all they care about.

Piss away money to every damn other nation. Give the Taliban billions of equipment. Screw our soldiers and force them to live in crap and squalor.
I despise our government and it’s current crop of leaders.

They don’t want thinkers or believers in human rights in the military. Will ruin their concentration/abortion camps plans later.
