The article Lead poisoning, black mold, vermin in base housing: Is this any way to thank our troops? written by the editorial board of USA TODAY is well written, and I couldn’t agree more with the argument.  The author seems to target all audiences to create awareness of the current military housing problem.  It is heartbreaking that our military families are living in unstable housing conditions.  Some might argue that this isn’t happening or say some families may be dramatic, but the author provides evidence by gathering quotes from military families that have suffered through these housing conditions.  Living in unhealthy conditions with black mold and/or other toxins in your house is very harmful to the body.  It can cause major damage to the brain, lungs, and other organs.  While some damage may be temporary, it is very concerning that other types are irreversible leading to permanent disabilities throughout life.  When our heroic troops are defending our country the least we could do is keep their families safe.  Being in the military is one of the most difficult jobs to do, and this issue needs to be addressed immediately.  There are so many other issues in this world that are made our priority over this, and it is unacceptable.  Our soldiers have so much to worry about and it is devastating that they need to worry about their family’s safety too.  Obviously not every family is affected but that isn't enough.  There should not be any military families living in anything less than perfect housing conditions.
