Ok, we’re at 12 Active Duty Wings, 10 Carrier Battle Groups, 10 Active Divisions in the Army and 3 Marine Divisions? What’s left to cut people? Tell me? I hope the House kills this in the damn bud. I mean GW barely held the line at what Clintoon and friends had cut it to. Most of what would have been a buildup was sucked up in paying for the wars we had to fight...now this? I bet HHS and SSA have NO problem getting money though!
Not everything that's going on in the Pentagon has to do with defending this country.
Here's a perfect example from the government jobs website:
Job Title: Safety and Occupational Health Manager
Department: Department Of Defense
Agency: Defense Media Activity
Job Announcement Number: DMA-11-421363-RB
A safety manager for the DOD media department making nearly 100k a year? There are thousands of these type of make work jobs in the government and the Pentagon is no exception.
I used to work for DoD and there are vast amounts of duplicative and unnecessary bureaucracy that not only could but should be cut.
