GAO report: Guam can’t support more Marines

Worthiness of a GAO report: “If your house was on fire and you were trying to get out, GAO would tell you to first make sure that your escape plan met best practices and that you had perfected your knowledge-based systems analysis.”

Everybody knows DOD can’t just shift 5,000 Marines to an island before making sure the island has enough water, housing and etc. to handle the population change. Congress faces tough choices here: Limitations on defense spending, vs. Guam needs stuff, so make DOD pay.
