President Joe Biden announced during meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that his administration would send an additional $325 million in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, including “air defense capabilities, cluster munitions, [and] anti-tank weapons.” Zelensky, who routinely swindles Western nations into funding his country’s war with Russia, was in Washington, D.C. last week to do exactly that, according to NBC News.
The Biden administration and Congress have worked relentlessly to ensure the well-being of Ukraine’s military, but the same cannot be said when it comes to taking care of America’s men and women in uniform. On Tuesday — two days before Biden’s meeting with Zelensky — the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report detailing the horrific living conditions of the barracks at several U.S. military installations.
According to Military.com, the extensive analysis contains numerous examples of “substandard conditions,” including reports of “bedbugs and roaches,” which the outlet noted “were a common issue at six of the bases that the GAO visited.” Water quality was also a notable issue, with one group of service members telling GAO investigators that their water “is often brown and does not appear safe for drinking.”
Other reported issues at the installations visited by GAO investigators included broken windows, inoperable air conditioning units, and lax security. Inadequate waste disposal and mold were also commonly cited problems.
