Should Three Officers Who Failed To Halt The Construction OF A New Command Center In Afghanistan Now Be Held Accountable?

If the funds were appropriated and had to be used, fine. But it should have been used for something more worthwhile. We should be better stewards our our tax dollars

Do what your rank can handle. I don't think many ranks can handle fraud waste and abuse. I say they work off the debt inside the command center they built.

Personally I am baffled with all the building in a combat zone. There should have been Nothing built except runways. This is not how we trained, ever. To blow into a country build bases and walk away...someone needs to be held responsible. I'm floored looking at these photos. Cubicles, theatre seats... Really?! This is waste of the HIGHEST power. Bet your home station doesn't have it this good.

Congress needs to be held accountable, why can't everyone understand that and not re-elect them to office.

I think it goes much higher. Why make them the scapegoats? Why are we in Afghanistan anyway? Who told us to go in? How much money are we wasting in the war on terrorism? Terrorism needs to be dealt with in a harsh way, get the media out of our way so we can get the job done. We need to hold politicians responsible, not make scapegoats out of our servicemen.

Speaking as a past pay agent, project officer, there is more to this story and wish to read all the details before agreeing to anything. So will they go after the officers for the decision to implement the wearing of the Soviet style ACU, or the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) expenses? All things compared looks more like these three officers have become some one scapegoats.

If they started this on my FOB...guaranteed we wouldve finished it between missions, fobbits, and those awesome seabees...wouldve been awesome to have a damn PX or rec room or even a decent weight room.

I do think someone should answer for it. Thats 36 million taxpayer dollars wasted...money we can use here....when i was deployed we had nothing...we built our own living area...tents, motorpool, mechanic shop, fixed our ouw blown up trucks, shower, laundrymat, TOC, ran electric, wired generater, installed air, ran our own internet...with no help from anyone. Yeah we are engineers (hooooah) but i think it made us stronger and more independent. The things people can do without "alot" of money, help, and a little motivation is astonishing. Wish we had 36 million...we wouldve built another KAF.

Not so sure about SIGAR and if there aren't other issues at play as McCaskill also ousted Arnold Fields, who was in-charge of investigating corruption from the United States back in 2011. John Sopko was appointed in 2012 by Obama and has since declared the reconstruction of A'stan a disaster claiming no leadership and no planning - You would think that the Sec. of State would be an integral part of this process as reconstruction being the final process of most treaties. 2014 Kerry took over so I'm not so sure he is to blame as this should have been if nothing a work in progress. To me it looks as if the Hillary machine is clearing the table and using others to take credit for her failures. It seems she was preoccupied in getting Bill speaking engagements rather than focused on an exit strategy via reconstruction. This to me is just another chapter in the Senior leadership purge by the democratic party. I wonder is McCaskill was seeking the head of Clinton with all the failures the State Department had in Afghan Police training in using DynaCorp - we are talking a half billion. I think McCaskill is being bullied to be a team player on the Clinton 2016 camp. From saying you don't want your daughter near Bill to being the first to support Hillary something is up.

Haha I remember these. The Marines who owned leatherneck constantly asked for construction to be cancelled. I'm sure the investigation knows more than I do about who could have stopped this, but whoever could have definetly should have.
