A MERICA'S soldiers are living in barracks so dark, dilapidated and disgusting the hellhole hovels are sickening our nation's heroes while triggering drug abuse and suicidal thoughts, according to a damning report by a federal watchdog agency!
In an explosive 90-page exposé, Congress' Government Accountability Office (GAO) charges barracks on American soil - home to more than 1.3 million troops are riddled with toxic black mold, seeping raw sewage and dangerous gas leaks while lacking basic fire suppression systems and other vital equipment!
Outraged veterans' groups insist our enlisted military personnel deserve better, especially since the Pentagon is demanding $15 billion for "facility sustainment" in the next federal budget! But the GAO notes the military had no idea how much it planned to spend on residences for our troops!
GAO inspectors took surprise looks at living quarters at ten installations staffed by four branches of the military - the Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force and Army.
Watchdogs discovered barracks at half of the facilities were coated by mold - with one soldier claiming he was forced to visit an emergency room three times for fungus-related respiratory problems before superiors finally transferred him to another living space!
