1 of 5 Captains cut were Prior Service (or was it 4 of 5 cut were not prior service)

355

Why is it a big deal that 1 in 5 captains cut from the Army were prior service? Why is it not 4 of 5 captains cut from the Army were not prior service? Or how about 5 of 5 captains selected to be cut were all officers, regardless of their background, that did not meet the requirements for the Army to continue service?

Army Officer cuts Disproportionally Affect Prior Enlisted?

I read this article this evening and thought that I would share. While I know that we can make numbers say anything that we want to validate a position or to quantify a course of action, the article is interesting. Is there a conspiracy to send prior enlisted home to save a few dollars on the other end? I would hope not. Take a read and share your thoughts.
