Trump better jerk the leash of these mutinous careerist A-holes.

I seem to remember a way to ‘cut out the deadwood’ is to take a ‘Junior’ ADM of your choice and fast track him to CNO (or whatever service) and the ones you bypassed will get the message and retire which the ‘boss’ can help move along.
Best way to attack is to start with the ego when they can do nothing about it.
Also seem to recall in WWII when ‘Officer number’ was all important so if a CO of a ship wasn’t ‘doing’ his job, he would get promoted to a staff so a qualified person would take his ship.
Less paper work and opens the ranks up.
Things really got ‘confusing’ when the ‘Reserve or OCS Officers were offered command when there was still ‘Ring Knockers’ who never had one......
EGO.... EGO....
“....take a ‘Junior’ ADM of your choice and fast track him...”
That is probably how some of these O-6 types got where they are - being “fast tracked” by Obama’s henchmen and women.
get promoted to a staff
Pease no. The Pentagon is full of staff who were put there to get them out of fighting units. The problem is now in the Pentagon and DC.
