But was it "an emergency?" When I saw the headline, I couldn't help but be reminded of the protagonist in "Once an Eagle"- a valued and favorite West Point text. The hero and his wife each personally clean and spruce up their government housing at each duty station. Different kinds of men...
No interior paint job is an emergency. Period. And yes, I growing up military, I know base housing is…’base’. If you want it more than base, YOU make it more than base.
Of course paint is never an emergency- I was teasing you. And I know the government has a long history of failing to protect our protectors. It's actually part of the very definition of "red tape." Here, though, paint is not going to make up for his leadership deficiencies and project power.
