DBA said:From what I understand all government departments must show progress towards making things accessible. If they started granting exceptions or lessened requirements to one department then all the others would ask for the same and we would be back to square one. As for troops accommodations, keep in mind they are sometimes also used for housing contractors running training and computer based exercises. It's certainly possible for contractors to benefit from accessible rooms.
In my experience, contractors and civvies stay in hotels.
Face it, this is just the blind application of rules without any consideration as to the utility or cost/benifit ratio. The last time the Army did business this way was the Battle of the Somme, a straight frontal assault behind a week long artillery barrage, costing the British 20,000 dead and 60,000 casualties all told in the first day alone. Luckily for us, we are only sending tax dollars rather than people into a frontal assault........
