1. Funny they waited
until the MSM reported on this story before they acted to correct the problem. My Marine son lived in a pre-Vietnam era barracks at Camp Lejeune for most of his 4 year career (2003-2007 when he wasn't in Iraq) and it was a dump also. He said that the plumbing leaked, sewer lines backed up regularly, the heating in the winter couldn't be turned down so they had to sleep with the windows open even when it was freezing outside. During the summer the AC hardly worked at all and there was a moldy smell in all the rooms that caused guys like him to suffer from allergies to mold.

He said the barracks in Iraq were better.
