Post by: CCTAU on July 08, 2015, 11:15:12 AM
Isn't this the same thing Clintax did to usher in 9/11?

Do we just go around in dumbass circles?

Ft. Rucker was spared compared to what they anticipated.  Only reducing by 186.  I understand Ft. Benning will lose 3,400.  What a blow to the community.  Exactly how do they go about the reduction?  Do they discharge them?  Do they get retirement, severance pay etc.?

Force reductions are done in many ways. Promotion scores are set so high that only a few make it and the rest are forced out. NCO'S and officers both. They also just deny anybody that has had any kind of trouble. What you then get is like when I was in the 101st. Unit strength of about 60% of a rapid deployment unit.

The military hasn't been allowed to fight a war to win in 70 years anyway. Besides, there's money to be saved and if there is one thing this government knows how to do, it's wisely spend our tax dollars.
