Well, there are not any of those, but there are a lot of general officers who could easily be replaced by O-6s. We have way to many Generals/Admirals. I was an O-5 on 5th Fleet staff in Bahrain the past two years and there were at least 30 of us. Probably another 15-20 O-6s. That is a lot of money. I literally recycled power point briefs day in and day out for two years. I can honestly say I did nothing substantial.
I’m all for the military and don’t want to see one dollar cut - but - they over estimate their budget needs by at least 50% each year so if they do get cut by 30% they’re still 120% to the good.
