This is exactly the kind of brainless chit that you pay some apparatchik Colonel 100K per year to think up. Colonel Brainless is prolly planning his next vacation and buying some retirement property.
And his his fat paycheck is supplied by private sector taxpayers trying to figure out how to make their next
mortgage payment.

Hey there. I am married to a Pentagon “commando” who works an 80-hours a week, who does not have time for vacations or golf, who rarely sees his kids, gets called several times through the middle of the night everytime a new crisis interrupts, and yet who also has a tough time coming up w/ the mortage, because $100K in DC is a cut above a taxi driver’s salary. That’s when he’s not deployed ... Actually, the Pentagon bit is a respite from taking mortar fire and portable showers in the desert.
Watch it.
The military is great training and experience for private sector success. Your husband sounds like a hard worker. Perhaps he should seek a challenging position in a corporation where he could increase his income and have more time for his kids.
During this time of great budgetary strain, on the Federal Government, it may be necessary to turn more in the military out to compete in the private sector.
As I’m sure you’re aware, the defense budget is a huge and ever growing portion of the national debt. It WILL have
to be cut substantially to avoid a national insolvency.
I know that our military leaders love our country and want to do their part to keep it from going bankrupt.
........ wouldn’t you agree?
