BS! Where are your statistics? That is not what I see. Most people I run into are E-5 with limbs missing. I can just see your glee in wanting them on the streets.
Puh-leeze! Do you know how many retired O-4s and above I see gaming the federal employee system each day with my own eyes? Hundreds, at least, if not thousands. They even have they own support networks and databases to help them move from cushy federal job to cushy federal job, which usually involve writing budgets, studies, and reports that are quickly filed and forgotten, when they are not attending federally sponsored conferences.
So spare me your outrage.
