Afghan Evacuees caused hundreds of millions in damages to our military facilities

Pentagon Report Shows State Of U.S. Military Bases After Hosting Afghan Evacuees

A recently made public report from the Pentagon has finally concluded that the U.S. military bases which were utilized as housing for Afghan nationals who were evacuated from Afghanistan due to the blundered pullout from President Joe Biden have inflicted multiple hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the bases.

This new report was made public in the wake of close to 76,000 Afghan nationals being evacuated over the course of just a few days back in August of 2021 to staging bases located in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Italy, Bahrain, and Germany.

Those evacuating were then shipped out to newly set up temporary housing facilities located across a total of eight DOD installations — Fort Bliss, Texas; Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL), New Jersey; Fort McCoy, Wisconsin; Camp Atterbury, Indiana; Fort Pickett, Virginia; Fort Lee, Virginia; Marine Corps Base (MCB) Quantico, Virginia; and Holloman Air Force Base (AFB), New Mexico.

The report stated that there was close to $257.48 million in damages to the facilities, which encompasses $174.9 million for Army bases, $3.21 million for Navy bases, $63 million for Air Force bases, and $16.37 million for Marine Corps bases.

We see what "normal" renters can do to a property and they're paying rent. Biden royally screwed up Afghanistan, but there is no excuse for this crap when our country was accomodating them.
