I have seen a plan to reduce troops by 15% (back to clinton levels), and for a shift of personnel placement from Air Force and Navy to the Army.

This is very close to Secret Agent Man's figure of 10%. Maybe the 60% I had read (here on FR) was a gross exaggeration. I do remember the large retirement of jet pilots when Clinton took office. It was close to 60% from what I read. I wouldn't blame them for wanting to get out, but it makes the American public more at risk.
