55. When senators visit this army post, a big show is put on for them
they go to best mess halls....or dine with the general in his home. But they don't see the mess halls in bad need of repair.
They see all the construction going on "to improve post security"...but they don't see the glitches...and more staff is in place for the senators visit. Once they are gone...so is the extra staff.
They are taken to the schools that have been repaired and repainted...but not the ones in need of so many necessary items.
Every stop along the way is pre-planned.
They are limited to a select handpicked audience of army personel and spouses. I was told to select spouses within my company who " you know will not cause problems" during a visit from a FORSCOM general.
I don't imagine it's much different anywhere else.
