I knew the military had gone PC nutty but issuing pink slips to men is just plain wrong

War in Afghanistan
Boarder Crisis
ISIS taking over Iraq
Mexican druglords occupying SW US
Hamas attacking Israel
Russia attacking Ukraine
China taking over the South China Sea
Libya out of control civil war
Ebola spreading

...and guess what is the only area of government that Obama is making smaller?

Well alrighty then, they can come home and help us establish some humdinger militias.

After all they are well-trained Captains in the Army.

They need those salaries to pay more IRS goons to eat out our substance.

Once again, the “post-war Carter Philosophy” shows it’s ugly head!

In 1975, after Vietnam, the USAF, “had too many e-5’s with 5 yrs. service time”, so, the decision was made, either offer them the opportunity to acquire a different job, even if starting from apprentice, or if they don’t seek one, to either become a civil engineer, security policeman, or a cook, or just muster them out.

It took me until July of 1976, to be accepted as an apprentice, in the electronics field. Of course, since I was going to be ‘re-trained’, I had to apply for an extension of 20 months, ‘to cover the amount of time for re-training’. Some of my e-5/5yr. peers did NOT seek, for their entrance test scores were not ‘tall enough’, and did get that ‘pink slip attitude’.
(Guess who they were assigned to?)

INSANE
and even worse is there is a plan by Dems to allow ILLEGALS to join military and get automatic citizenship.

BTW Stalin did the same thing with his officer corps
and only Hitler’s bungling kept Russia from becoming part of Germany

The plan is to cut the power of this country’s military, and turn the military into a social experiment.

This is the third RIF I've seen since the end of Viet Nam.

We always pretend that we have a "peace dividend" where the rest of the world apparently becomes invisible to the belly button counters and bureaucrats.

IMO the captains and majors and mid level NCOs are the core of our military's future They have the command and combat experience that starts to evaporate when others go to field and staff grade levels.

As the old peacenik songs goes:

"When will they ever learn?"

Poor leadership from JCOS and top ranking generals, admirals, etc or they’d stand up to a crazy CIC.

"The 87 deployed captains (O-3), once notified, immediately received “change of mission” orders and will be out of country within 30 days. They were given the choice to either return to home duty station or to a transition location of choice and given 10 months to separate."

A little contradiction between stories there.
