Army calls base housing hazards 'unconscionable,' details steps to protect families
U.S. Army officials are apologizing and vowing to improve military base housing standards after a Reuters investigation.
Reuters reports that Secretary of the Army Mark Esper called conditions including toxic mold and other substances found in homes of U.S. service members and their families "unconscionable."
Youve brought to light a big issue that demands our attention, Esper said Friday, according to Reuters. It is frankly unconscionable that our soldiers and their families would be living in these types of conditions when we ask so much of them day in and day out.
Our instinct is this is bigger even than whats been reported, and we want to get to the bottom of it, get to the bottom of it fast, added Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley.

Sorry soldiers. Trump needs your housing money for his vanity wall.
