Precisely. Dispose of the enlisted, and keep the officers no matter how worthless some of them are. Some things never change.

Back after the VN war, officers were dumped by the boat load (no pun intended), especially pilots and RIO’s if memory serves me right.

Know what? I am an officer.

But I think of a lot of 0-6s that are holding positions that are, shall we say, non-essential.

Air Force TImes had headline
157 Majors to get the boot. No retirement, no pay - nada. THe max notice any of them get is 5 months.

All the serives are starting to make cuts or plans for cuts - Vietnam redux all over again.
