So we're gonna cut 4000 or so per active Division
That's smart, now if they cut a good bit out of TRADOC it will be less If they offered a get out in 30 days to every soldier, that number will be met In 2 months |

Remember the 80's when we had 18 divisions? I'd put money that the 80's military would kick the shit out of today's.

If they offered it right now 35-40% people I know would take it. I could not agree more. I'd say it's much higher than 35-40%, even with the crappy civilian economy these people would be entering. Morale is absolutely in the dumps from my observations. I'd wager they would have 40K people that would be willing to leave at the drop of a hat. The problem is, the people that want to get out are the people we should be keeping and massive amounts of useless dead weight will stay and move into leadership positions. The entire situations is one big sh*t sandwich. 
Even those of us that are Army civilians have about had it with all the BS. I think more than half of our time is now dedicated to SHARP, suicide training, DAU, CLPs, EEOC silliness and now I hear we are going to be required to go to sensitivity training for LBGT acceptance or some BS like that next year.

Our soldiers are getting thrown under the bus again. And yet no talk of getting rid of the 30+ million (and climbing) illegal aliens sucking our social services, schools, jails, hospitals and other taxpayer funded institutions dry. No talk of cutting foreign aid, welfare, section 8, EBT, SNAP, TANF, WIC, Obama phones, corporate welfare or tax payer funded bailouts for too big to fail banks. Maybe we should consider cutting all the useless, unauthorized, duplicate and bloated Gov agencies in DC first before we even think about cutting the military and direct support DoD civilians. I have a very bad feeling in the near future we are going to witness something absolutely catastrophic happen to our once proud, strong and moral country. We are witnessing this republic slowly commit national suicide and I don’t know if we are going to be able to recover.  Ummm. This is exactly why they are cutting the forces. To fund the FSA. It isn't exactly a surprise. |

Arguably the same is true in the army. a few brigades could deploy independently, but not for MCO operations. guard combat units bring some good capabilities. MCO isn't one of them. |

It said the plan also called for cutting 17,000 civilian employees, it added. I'm sure they'll start with the women and the gays. /s |

I was having a discussion with the young E-4s-E-6s of the 101st who were very surprised that I opposed the generous GI Bill benefits being offered by the John McCain sponsored bill. All they could see was drawing the equivalent of their active duty pay to just go to college. I told them that, in ten years, we will look back at it and call it the "Broken NCO Corps Act of 2008." I asked them to identify the best and the brightest young troops in the section, then ask if they are re-upping or going to college the first chance they get. Then I asked them to identify which of them were probably going to reenlist and whether those guys were the best and the brightest. "So, in about five or six years, all the good and smart guys will be graduating from college, and only the duds will have reenlisted and therefore become all the squad leaders and platoon sergeants?" |

I haven't. This was the answer during the height of the war, rob TRADOC. The biggest amount of fat is in the staff/headquarters. There's a little fat in a BCT HQ (5-10%), a good amount in a division (probably 20%), and a ton in every staff above Division (probably 40-60%). The mil leadership is counting down to the next election. They are trying to retain as many senior officers and NCOs as possible, because they take longer/cost more to replace. |
