Shocking report reveals horrific living conditions in US military bases… uncooked and rotten food! (Photos)

The New York Post said that the men and women who protect the country often endure difficult conditions in their temporary residences abroad, noting that they are also exposed to horrific hardships in service, including, for example, where they live and work inside the United States as well.

Mold affects soldiers’ clothing

“I’ve heard stories of broken toilets, bugs in the rooms, and overcrowding,” Robert Evans, founder of Hots&Cots, told the newspaper. “There was an issue reported last week where the air conditioning wasn’t working, and the room was over 90 degrees.”

The temperature in the room was above 90 degrees.

“The military is hard,” Evans added. “Going into battle or serving on a mission is hard. But where you live shouldn’t be hard. Getting good food shouldn’t be hard. That’s the minimum standard that service members who protect our country should have.”

The quality of food served on military bases is a subject of debate.

Evans, a veteran, launched his site more than a year ago to showcase the best and worst of military life, likening the site to a Yelp for military installations, where soldiers post reviews and photos.

Black mold is another common feature in residential areas.

Confirming some of Evans’ findings on his site, a U.S. soldier serving at Fort Carson, Colorado, told The Washington Post about an air conditioning unit that leaked to the point that “the floor made a damp sound when he walked on it.”

The soldier called for it to be fixed, but got no satisfactory answer, so he bought a fan with his own money to circulate the air. “The washing machines don’t work in the building where he lives,” he said. “He was moved out of the unit because of black mold on the wall. He was then moved to a room so dirty that it took five buckets of water to clean it.”

The New York Post reports that Evans wanted to create the site to help men and women in the military know the good places they can apply for a stationing position, as well as the less desirable places to avoid.

“The Army is committed to providing safe, healthy, and high-quality living conditions for our soldiers and their families,” said Andrea Kelly, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Army. “For barracks, we are allocating $2.1 billion annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to sustain, restore, and modernize the Army at scale.”
