Mike - you are on to something. I read that during WWII there were 2000 general/flag officers for 12 million active duty personnel. Now, when we have not seen a real war in decades, there are 900 general/flag officers serving 1.3 million active duty personnel, an unsustainable and incomprehensible ratio. The Pentagon has become a self serving bureaucracy that seems just interested in staffing unnecessary positions that evolve into executive positions with the industrial-military complex. Its incompetence was demonstrated clearly during the evacuation of our Afghanistan debacle. Heaven help us if we were to face a real enemy challenge.
Dirk, Maybe we can buy them off with 'shares' in our Military Industrial complex??? Ha
