My Part for the Fort Bragg Barracks Story

Fort Bragg Barracks at Soldiers Father's Post with his comments

In case you were wondering, the father doesn't approve of the war either:
Father's Anti War Post of a month ago

No matter where you stand on the war itself, I hope you can see the awful truth of this situation, that no one, and especially not men and women who risk their lives going

The thing is a lot of these Forts are old. I live next too Fort Hood, all you have to do is drive down the road and see how old these buildings really ae.
Inside the floors are yellow and old and in AIT (trainning before military) it's over crowded.
When I did my AIT there was a 110 just in my platoon alone. The other platoon's were at least 100, and I believe the one that was just comming in as we were graduating was... like 200. I know they were having severe issues.

We had so many people that they were going over to over buildings and if any body knows or understands that doesnt help trainning wise.

The millitary every where needs upkeep. The situation at Bragg was unique but not alone.

I believe we need a change.
But theres also the fact of being too comfy.

At my station when we were getting ready to go to overseas we had horrible equipment and not enough.
Its not just on a national level things need to be fixed but on the goverment too.

Yeah, yeah I know, I thought it too! Training soldiers, not executives? Still, this is ridiculous! Yes I understand "old", but even the old can be updated, and modernized, or at least kept up to decent respectability! Don't you think?

Oh yeah and before I forget: HELL YEAH the government needs to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed on a NATIONAL level!
