Some people believe that gambling is immoral, and that hosting slot machines or other gambling games is exploitative. Some people are not necessarily opposed to gambling, but strongly believe the government should take care of military personnel. To them, this may be an example of the government failing to provide more wholesome (or at the very least, less expensive) activities. Some people are outraged by the amount of money the government spends on the military. To them, this may be an example of the government collecting yet more money from enlisted personnel rather than using their extensive budget to properly fund the "morale, welfare, and recreation" programs. I suspect the article's intent is to highlight the latter two points. Personally I'm not sure how to feel about it. While I am not opposed to gambling, I do think we need support for managing addictions (including gambling addictions).
