#1 Remember how Congress has been playing politics with funding? Which do you think is more important: bullets for the front-line troops or barracks? These are the most difficult choices management is privileged to make... and why they get ulcers and heart attacks.

Some of you Rantburgers must have connections to this base. Please let us know the background to this video. It feels like one of those panic stricken emails that circulate the internet, only to turn up at Snopes or urbanlegends@about.com, either debunked as an urban myth or an incomplete tale. I'm not trying to suggest this is an urban myth, but I strongly suspect the tale is very incomplete.

#4 I'm sure Bragg has milcon proj's out the wazzoo. Trust me, no Bn SgtMaj or CO is gonna let his lads live like dog crap nowadays. Someone is jumping the gun by going to the media and will likely get their ass chewed for it. Most mold is knocked out by bleach your supposed to use during Thursday night field days. Broken toilet seats generally take a day (at most) to get fixed by a Barracks NCO. At least at Lejeune that's how we did things.

#6 that was before the Investigative Heroes of the MSM were on the prowl, because, of course, every superior wants to be the subject of recriminations in the press. If not for the Heroes, nothing would get done. I'm still surprised the frontline in the Quagmire have weapons, much less ammo

/feeling particularly cynical
