Hellish Walter Reed base barracks now in Congress’ sights

I bet the base CO and his staff have hot water, right?
On one hand, I'd say, SITFU. You're in the military. Hot water is a luxury.
On the other, this is typical dysfunction in the bureaucratic military. Replacing temperature control valves is expected to take a couple of weeks? I could get a civilian plumber in there and have it done by tomorrow morning at probably 1/50th the cost of what they'll end up paying.
And WTF have they been doing since 2015 where they still haven't fixed the problem? 6 years and you idiots can't find a f*cking plumber that knows his ass from a hole in ground?
The CO and his whole chain of command need to be pushed out. These clowns seem to have been absent they day taught Troop Welfare at OCS.

Well, better late than never for sure but someone needs to answer for why it took so damn long. This is a disgrace

Now we'll see some duck and cover over this issue. Time for the Blame Game.
