Guam barracks conditions are ‘baffling,’ Navy admiral says in email
The barracks conditions prompted a fiery email from a senior Navy admiral who called it a “failure of leadership.”

Mold painted over, wires dangling and black rusted pipes framing the ceiling were part of everyday reality for Marines, sailors and airmen living in barracks on Guam. The conditions left the Navy’s top admiral in charge of barracks across the service baffled.

Photos of the Palau Hall barracks at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, and comments in an email from a senior Navy official were obtained by the Project on Government Oversight and shared with Task & Purpose.
 
“It is baffling to discover sailors living in these conditions,” Vice Adm. Scott Gray, the head of Navy Installations Command, wrote in a May 5 email obtained by POGO.

It isn't baffling at all.  Since they aren't illegal aliens, the government doesn't give a sh*t about the conditions in which they live. **nononono*

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

God and the soldier we adore.
But in times of peace and all things righted,
God is forgotten and the soldier slighted."

So, who was the previous person who inspected the barracks?
Who's getting fired?
Who's getting court-martialed?
Who's losing their pensions?
Or, is accountability too baffling?

That's odd.  Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics all seem to be doing okay.  Jim Taiclet was Fox News the other day, smiling like the cheshire cat.

Was on a military golf course in Cali open to enlisted. Some would get drunk, play like fools and tear up the course.
Then use the golf carts as bumper cars. Just a single example but saw it first hand. It was documented and they paid the price.
