When a ‘company’ can take an 800,000 cut in the workforce and still carry out basic functions, that tells me there are 800,000too many people working for it. Oh, believe me: carrying out basic functions will come to a screeching halt if this actually happens. Are you so naive as to believe that the DoD can function with only uniformed soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines? Think again. TC

Nope. Nor am I so brainless to think that it requires any number CLOSE to 800,000 people.

Nor do I believe for a nanosecond that faced with reality, they wouldn’t gut anything else to ensure continued operations.

Which they would. Which is the whole point of making them.
