Vehicles Left to Rust, Faulty Furnaces: Most Military Depots in Bad Shape

[longknife]

Few understand just how damaging to military readiness the 8 years of the Obama administration was.

Of the 21 depots that maintain, overhaul and repair complex weapons systems, 12 were listed in poor condition and operating with equipment past its expected service life, according to the 77-page GAO report, issued Monday.

The result has been a "general decline in depot performance over the past 10 years" and delays in returning weapons systems to the field for operations and training, the report states.

In addition, "the military services can't determine how much of the decline is due to facility and equipment problems," according to the GAO, Congress' audit, evaluation and investigative arm.

It's not a GAO report, it's the interpretation of a GAO report by someone named Richard Sisk who used to work for the Daily news.

During WW2 you could get arrested for promoting (fake?) propaganda that suggested that "most military depots are in bad shape". The lesson is that posters who use patriotic logos might not be patriots.
