House members have expressed outrage over the poor living conditions experienced by soldiers and their families on military bases across the country. During a recent session, senior defense officials were grilled by lawmakers regarding the 'disgusting' and 'unsatisfactory' state of military housing. In response to the reports of squalid living conditions, the Marine Corps has ordered a 'wall-to-wall inspection' of all barracks and pledged to inspect every single barracks. The Pentagon faces scrutiny from both the House Panel and individual lawmakers, including a House Republican, who are demanding answers and action to address these decrepit facilities.
