I do know what you're talkin about there, i've said it myself. joint chiefs and the pentagon assholes are just uniformed DC swamp. the 11 combat commanders are full on deep in the GAW and they're who Q is talking about when a drop says 'military is the only way'.

MacGregor is talking about the officer corps in general and he's right. IMO 0-6ish and up are mostly useless, self serving political backstabbers. and way, way too many generals and admirals. topheavy as hell.

the real mil is the e-4 mafia, some of the good upper NCOs and some low-mid level officers. plus of course the 11 guys who are really in charge ... really it's not much different from corporate America- medical, pharma, higher ed etc.. gotta do housecleaning everywhere, but I know it will get done.
