in 2008 when the market crashed corporations used that time to purge incompetency hires by slashing massive job and departments. It was a way of hiding meritocracy. The bad part was firing many good people to get to fire those incompetent people.
How to we purge the incompetent and social hires of the military in ALL branches?
Maybe enough competent people decided to leave the service and do something else during the Obama administration, and now they have a manpower shortage in key billets. I saw a Fox News report. They quoted a Navy officer that said training isn't what it used to be.
