College graduates without one ounce of economic sense. From the time I entered the service, to the time I retired, the Air Force was downsizing. Beginning with some 800,000 people to end up approximately half that number. I count myself extremely lucky to have survived the continual reductions in force and made it to retirement.
Never heard any service personnel complain that what they had built up or accomplished was being torn down or destroyed, never heard anyone complain that the people paying for us didn’t understand, how important we were, same with fairness, there wasn’t any, the money wasn’t there and someone had to go. Had nothing to do with we didn’t deserve this treatment.
There was certainly no guarantee, and I wasn’t able to protest the downsizing. Manning in the services was up to someone way above my pay grade.
There are no guarantees in life, other than death and taxes as they say. This seems to have been forgotten among the emotional and academic cripples in “higher” education.
Most military people aren’t these oprahfied trembling upper lip excuses of men, either.
