Occupied Kwajalein’s base amenities starkly outpace displaced Ebeye’s slum

Evidence

John Seiberling, a U.S. Congress member from Ohio, compared the conditions on Ebeye and military-occupied Kwajalein when he visited the islands in 1984: … The contrast couldn’t be greater or more dramatic. Kwajalein is like Fort Lauderdale or one of our Miami resort areas, with palm-lined beaches, swimming pools, a golf course, people bicycling everywhere, a first-class hospital and a good school; and Ebeye, on the other hand, is an island slum, over-populated, treeless filthy lagoon, littered beaches, a dilapidated hospital, and contaminated water supply. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 207
