Perhaps. It is true that CNN can be relied upon to blow out of proprotion stories that can or might be construed by non military or non former military types as being relevant to the greater good in terms of what is and what is not important as a matter of military effectiveness.
Hollywood does the same or does its best to imply a negative implication as well. (another story but oh so true)
I have slept in a few old and decrepit barracks back in the day. I slept on a cot or on the ground a few times.
I am sure many of us who have had the honor of serving can relate incidences of less than stellar accomodations.
My point is that the story is probably misconstrued by many and is largely unimportant in the grand scheme.
The American military is now and has been for many many decades the best equipped, best trained , and most effective fighting force in the world.
No need to rub their noses in a miniscule apparation as this.
That is my point. Your all welcome of course to yours as well.
