Pictures of the Palau Hall barracks in the Andersen Air Force database on Guam and comments posted in e-mail by the inspector of John Phelan, the minister of the US Navy, were made public in the past week by Project on Government Oversight, a group examining corruption and abuse of power in the Federal Government of the United States.
And in the pictures you can see ineptly painted mold, hanging, unsecured electric cables, cracked concrete floors and rusty sewage pipes, entwining corridors and marines rooms, sailors and aviators accommodated on Guam.
Phelan in correspondence to his superiors wrote that “the golf course in the base is a much better condition than barracks.”
These conditions were stunned by Admiral Scott Gray, responsible for the barracks of the American army. “The state presented in the pictures is a failure of the management at many levels of command,” Gray said and ordered to check the state of all American bases scattered around the world.
