Thoroughly Modern Milley is Exhibit A for reducing the General/Flag Officer billets by 50%, or more. These 3/4 star generals are isolated in their puzzle palaces, with a focus on political games, instead of planning how to fight the next war.
The generals I knew were all about the next mission, the next battle. All we have today are Courtney Massengales, instead of Sam Damons.
"...Courtney Massengales, instead of Sam Damons..." Absolutely, positively, 100% spot one, FRiend.
