message: I removed the computer games section because nobody is going to care about this.  If put back, please don't include pointless trivia about individual computer games as was contained in the text I removed.  Here is what I took out:  "Buildings called 'Barracks' feature prominently in many war-based computer games. For example, in Sid Meier's Civilization series, any units created at a city with a Barracks automatically gain 'veteran status', giving them a 50% attack and defense bonus.
'Barracks' are training structures in many RTS (real-time strategy) games. Generally, in such games, 'barracks' produce the most basic infantry units until further "upgrades" in technology are researched".  --Xyzzyplugh 12:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I think there is a certain image of militarism associated with barracks, e.g. that of quartering soldiers anywhere (an issue of the American Revolution), that should be discussed. John Riemann Soong 21:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

 ==Khubarracks==
The Khubarracks are an elitist special tactical combat force barracks that are utilized in many military training regimes globally. Inspired by Lt.Col Khubaren who served in the Khatib Camp as a tactical special ops commando, all Khubarracks come equipped with the absolute state of the art military technologies to equip the soldiers of today with tomorrow's finest weaponry and research intelligence.

message: I've recast the definition because I think it should explain what barracks are and why they are built rather than just repeat the cliche about them being boring or repetitive designs. I dont have much information on continental Europe or US and more precise history and examples of both would improve the page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrs Mei (talk • contribs) 00:39, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Architecture is defined by many things.  The mere fact that they are buildings qualify them as Architecture.  SkonesMickLoud (talk) 07:33, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Barracks are military buildings not architecture 

message: The "U.S. Armed Forces" section says, ...these servicemembers are generally housed in individual rooms conforming to the DoD's "1+1 standard," though exceptions still exist. Could someone add an explanation of what this "1+1 standard" is? I would do it, but I have no idea what it means and can't find an explanation despite spending about 10 minutes searching with Google. cmadler (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
