These Military Construction Projects Could Be Cut to Fund a Border Wall

Lt Col Charlie Brown How dare you, $6.5 million for housing at a reserve military base in Sparta Wisconsin (Fort McCoy) will save the Government...., well nothing...... there is no reason at all for some of these deleted projects. But think of the children.

MAJ (Join to see) - It may not be a necessity to update Fort McCoy, but as a reservist, I mobilized out of there and most of the buildings should have been condemned. Some of them were. We had no heat in many of our barracks. We were training from December to February. It was brutal.

SPC Samantha Stapley - Most of us have mobilized there, this is money for permanent housing, which is plentiful off base, certainly not a priority. One of my favorite Army memories is range day 29 degrees below zero, everyone was shaking so bad it was nearly impossible to hit the 50M target, fortunately the wind and ice made most of the targets fall back down so everyone still qualified without actually hitting the targets!
