10,000 Army officers on chopping block, Army official says. Will the Army reach its drawdown goal by 2018?

We keep bitching about the threat of China and Russia but conduct fratricide against the army.

on some level, I get some of this....the days of unlimited funding and everyone gets promoted are over...I get that...
but I would think, from a personnel or talent management perspective...we would question what we are doing with some of our non-selects and OSB victims - not just sending them into the guard/reserve, but also putting them into GS positions (as opposed to those GS employees that have never served).
I find it hard that these people who are being separated...we have no work for them, whatsoever??

Yep, thanks for your loyal and outstanding service. Goodbye.
