A hidden and never discussed magnifier of all these cuts and manpower reductions, and something that I have never seen measured, is that we are also replacing the men with females, and even weakening the men themselves as we feminize training and standards, and daily military life and military practices, even those as seemingly immune as morning runs.
Yep! The report last fall showing that, now, the overwhelming number of "rapes" in the military were suffered by male victims...
The emperor's strategy of filling the ranks with homosexuals has led to the old expression "foxhole buddies" being replaced with "butthole buddies".
