Given that the US can’t even keep its barracks on American soil in decent condition, I guess it’s no surprise that they have no environmental protections abroad…
Is the article that your link refrences. Yeah, i mean i agree with it those are not great mold/broken pipes. But it wasn’t meant to be a 5 star resort either. I spent 2 years stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in a barracks that couldn’t be torn down because it was a historical monument because it had bullet holes from ww2. Shit sucked. None of the barracks i lived in had security cameras back in 2010. We had a couple guys in duty that roamed the area. We didn’t have heaters because we were stained in a area that didn’t need them. I don’t know what the current standards are.
Yeah that’s fair. I admit I don’t have first-hand experience, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if things have degraded significantly in the past decade.
My proof is 5 years of service in the military spending every Thursday cleaning for 4-5 hours for field day inspection where the higher ups go through the barracks on Friday to make sure they are clean.

don’t ask for proof, without giving any. you’re bound to be asked to deliver yourself.
