This issue seems to come up every once in awhile. For service members that have been in for a long time, do you see a difference in talent at different leadership levels, not just officers? Even if not, what is the best way to continue to retain the best talent at every rank? Or does it not matter because the military will march on and do the best with what it has?

This article, written by a retired Army Lieutenant General and a senior defense contractor, made some points that resounded with me. I would be interested to hear some others' views on it.
Summarized very succinctly, the current Secretary of Defense is concerned that the military is losing too large a number of young officers because of an inflexible career path and an "up or out" promotion system.
