WASHINGTON - Army officials said Tuesday they are inspecting every barracks building worldwide to see whether plumbing and other problems revealed at Fort Bragg, N.C., last week are widespread.



Brig. Gen. Dennis Rogers, who is responsible for maintaining barracks throughout the Army, told reporters at the Pentagon that most inspections were done last weekend but he had not seen final results.

While not providing specifics about problems discovered during the weekend inspections, Rogers indicated some deficiencies were corrected. In cases where extensive repairs are deemed necessary, the soldiers in that housing would be moved elsewhere until the fixes are completed, he added.

1. Oh, please, base housing, whether barracks or homes have been

in need of major overhaul for a while now... Some bases are worse than others.. but taking care of soldiers has never been a govt priority.. its only a talking point for Repugs to keep endless wars and money sucking out of the treasury and into their pockets.

2. Hmmm, you'd think the Walter Reed fiasco would've triggered this

Not some dad's video posted on YouTube. Military leadership is falling apart. Sad to see.

3. No the * Rublican party is responsible they waved if you

vote against all the money to support the war you don't support the troops.

All of the money they got went to contractors not our soldiars.

Screw the Republicans!
