 Mold Is Consuming Fort Stewart’s Barracks as a Pattern Emerges Across the Army


September 16, 2022
 
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.”

The barracks’ halls and doors will suddenly appear painted black with mold. In soldiers’ rooms, the mold spreads quickly onto mattresses and gear if they must leave for extended periods of time and don’t constantly combat the crud.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If the government tried to put illegal aliens in those same barracks, it would create an international uproar, AOC would have a hissy fit, and Biden would call Milley to launch an investigation into Trump.  But they're just American military so it's no big deal.  9999hair out0000

I'm pretty sure I have been reading this same damn story about mold and disgusting conditions in military barracks and housing for decades. Every time  it comes up there are cries of outrage from government stooges, congress and senate, and demands for action and empty promises because never is there a change or improvement. Our men and women in the services are our most important tool in the arsenal, yet they are also the most abused and mistreated.
