'Everything Is on the Table': Army Eyeing Expansion of Privatized Barracks

The Army is considering a significant expansion of privatized barracks, a concept it has revisited periodically since the 1990s and one that gained renewed momentum under the previous administration.

As part of a pilot program, construction is expected to begin this summer on a new privately managed facility at Fort Irwin, California, designed to house approximately 500 junior enlisted soldiers. The project began more than a year ago.
 
The initiative reflects the Army's ongoing struggle to maintain aging infrastructure, which has left some service members living in substandard and, in some cases, hazardous conditions.
 
"We're looking at expansion writ large," David Dentino, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for installations, housing and partnerships, told reporters Thursday.

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 barracks are good enough for US troops, why aren't they good enough for illegal aliens? 9999hair out0000
