First fire all O-6s and above (Col/Capt and Gen/Adm). Then promote warriors. Any officers above O-5 (LTC/CDR) got their on politics. They sucked up to the leaders who sucked up to the SecDef who sucked up to POTUS. Almost all the "leadership" were promoted to O-6 by Clinton. Are you surprised that they whine? Frankly, I am surprised that we have as many halfway decent flag officers as we do. As for all the complaints about "boots on the ground", I have yet to hear one person say, "When I was asked by the President, 'What do you need?'. I told him MORE TROOPS." I have yet to hear it, because they did not say it.

Sort of like when Stalin executed all of his generals.. and colonels.. and majors.. and then promoted everyone below that. Works wonders for morale.

Then you haven't been paying attention. Rumsfeld fired Shinseki for saying just that. He was fired.
