Contact everyone mentioned at the end of the vid.... I did!
Imagine coming home after 18 months deployed to that garbage....
Sad.....
If this was a prison full of scumbags, the Democrats would be having a cow over the "Un-Humane conditions" that they are forced to live in..
That really sux to think about..... Rapists, thieves, murders ...all receiving better treatment than our troops....
TV, medical care, education, all paid for by us... the taxpayer.
The Troops deserve much better!

Adios Assholes....
Air Force leadership in shake-up
By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer 6-4-08
The military and civilian chiefs of the Air Force are resigning, U.S. officials said Thursday.
Defense officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said that Defense Secretary Robert Gates asked Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley and Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne to step down.
A public announcement was expected later in the day.
There was no immediate word on who would be nominated to replace Moseley and Wynne.
Press secretary Dana Perino said President Bush knew about the resignations but that the White House "has not played any role" in the shake-up.
Moseley became Air Force chief in September 2005; Wynne took office in November 2005.
Wynne is the second civilian chief of a military service to be forced out by Gates. In March 2007 the defense secretary pushed out Francis Harvey, the Army secretary, because Gates was dissatisfied with Harvey's handling of revelations of inadequate housing conditions and bureaucratic delays for troops recovering from war wounds at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
The Air Force has endured a number of embarrassing setbacks over the past year. In August, for instance, a B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles and flown across the country. The pilot and crew were unaware they had nuclear arms aboard.
The error was considered so grave that President Bush was quickly informed.
Moseley later announced that in response to flaws exposed during the nuclear weapons error, the Air Force would change the way bomber crews organize for their nuclear training mission.
Gates also has been trying to learn more about how fuses for Air Force ballistic missiles were mistakenly shipped to Taiwan. Gates was briefed last week on the conclusions of an internal investigation of that matter but the results have not been made public.
Four cone-shaped electrical fuses used in intercontinental ballistic missile warheads were shipped to the Taiwanese instead of the helicopter batteries they had ordered. The fuses originated at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo., but the mix-up apparently occurred after the parts were shipped to Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
In another incident, the Pentagon inspector general found in April that a $50 million contract to promote the Thunderbirds aerial stunt team was tainted by improper influence and preferential treatment. No criminal conduct was found.
Moseley was not singled out for blame, but the investigation laid out a trail of communications from him and other Air Force leaders that eventually influenced the 2005 contract award. Included in that were friendly e-mails between Moseley and an executive in the company that won the bid.
"It is my sense that General Moseley's command authority has been compromised," Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said at the time.

Got a response from the Senator I wrote about the conditions at Ft. Bragg, NC. See below....
Thank you for contacting me regarding living conditions at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. I appreciate hearing from you, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.
As you know, the father of a soldier who had recently returned from a 15 month deployment to Afghanistan, posted a video on the Internet of his son’s barracks at Fort Bragg showing images of peeling paint, mold, and unsanitary plumbing. The video sparked an immediate outpouring of concern and a quick response from hundreds of citizens, various members of government, and senior level Army officials.
Following the posting of the video, Army Secretary Pete Geren issued a statement calling the poor conditions at Fort Bragg unacceptable. General Cody, the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army has reiterated the Army’s moral commitment to take care of our soldiers and has stated that the Army will not let such living conditions stand. Army officials have also stated that following the video launch, inspections have been conducted at every barracks building worldwide to ensure that the problems exhibited at Fort Bragg are not widespread. The living conditions at the barracks shown in this video are completely unacceptable, and the Army has assured Congress that the deficiencies shown in the video have since been corrected. According to Colonel Dave Fox, Fort Bragg's garrison commander, the Army has spent about $170,000 on new furnishings for the barracks. Please know that I will continue to follow this issue closely.
You may be interested to know that during my first months in the Senate I was confronted with similar unacceptable living conditions at Walter Reed. Within days of the reporting of the conditions at Walter Reed, I introduced the Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act, with Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. I am proud to report that the Dignified Treatment for Wounded Warriors Act, in part based on the legislation that Senator Obama and I introduced, passed the Senate in July of 2007 and contains numerous provisions requiring the highest of standards for living facilities for our wounded.
The men and women who have served this country have done so with consistent honor and dignity. We can all agree that the soldiers who have fought for this nation deserve nothing less than our utmost gratitude, care and respect. Please be assured that I will continue to fight diligently to ensure that members of our nation’s active duty military and veterans receive the benefits they have earned and the respect they well deserve.
All best,
Senator Claire McCaskill
