I wonder whether the real intent is to get all decent people to quit or not join so that the army ends up with the worst of the worst....an army that would shoot grandma as soon as it would shoot a terrorist.

There are just too many negative things happening for it to all be due to stupidity. Even a stupid man will occasionally do the right thing due to the percentages involved in multiple choice.

Canning generals, many of whom are highly decorated, cutting benefits, cutting the VA, calling the massacre of troops work place violence, ridiculous restrictions on troops in the field, cutting back or eliminating entertainment of troops overseas .......

This could very well be true, but, as with all things leftist, the outcome will not be what they expect. A military full of the kind of sh**bags that will remain, won't be much of a formidable force, even with the tech.
