Military Wastes Millions on Headquarters Never To Be Used
12th July 2013
The U.S. military has wasted $34 million on a vast new headquarters in Afghanistan which will most likely never be used by U.S. forces. The 64,000 square foot monument to government incompetence stands vacant at Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, Afghanistan.
Uh, I don’t think that this was the military’s idea. I think it was the Obama Administration’s idea. So don’t blame the military for following orders, especially stupid orders:
The windowless, two-story structure, which is larger than a football field, was completed this year at a cost of $34 million. But the military has no plans to ever use it. Commanders in the area, who insisted three years ago that they did not need the building, now arein the process of withdrawing forces and see no reason to move into the new facility.
Just another example of tReason magazine’s biases. Granted, the article was written by an intern, but still, where is the adult supervision? Sadly lacking.
