I am just about to respond to my Senator's anual fund raising dinner....I think I will add my letter with the check and I will be making a phone call as well. Dang this is sad.

It might be good to point out that there is a fix, too. The allotment for living off base that Ed mentions at the end takes the story out of the vague, no-immediate-solution, hopeless category.

The Army - the newest slum lords?
I sent an email to Bill O'Reilly. Perhaps he'll cover this situation on his TV or radio talk show.
Will also contact my Congressmen and Senators. I know some of them have visited Guantanamo Bay, where terrorists are housed. If they can do that, we can tolerate no excuse for them not to respond to this, the treatment of our own men.
What other organizations can we contact? I'm wondering if the Red Cross would be of any help. They always seem to be checking out Guantanamo Bay as well as the US Senators.......how ironic and somewhat twisted if they can't help.

I just found out today the the barracks that are under construction for these soldiers to move into will not be done until 2010
We're contractors and have done a fair number of local government and military projects. Trust me, when it's in the government's interest they can get a room, or a building, up in NO time. 2 years is simply absurd.

I emailed the url on Ed's web page to my senator (McConnell in KY and he is also in the Armed Services something or other) and Hal Roger Congressman. I copied and pasted the url but it didn't come out in a different color or anything. If I did it wrong or if there is a better way, someone let me know.
I've posted the link on a couple of other forums to get the word out. I've been shocked at some of the replies... but most can not believe the live in those conditions.
