Pentagon To Disband ‘Useless’ Warrant Officer Corps

Quote:
Washington, DC - Pentagon Comptroller Robert Hale warned on Tuesday that the second round of sequestration would mean that the Pentagon needs to get lean, and he’s found that cutting the “antique” Warrant Officer Corps would save millions in defense dollars.

“Instead of hurting all of our citizen soldiers who are doing actual work, why not just trim the fat by cutting thousands of useless warrant officers?” said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. “And I literally mean fat. This study I have here shows more than 65 percent of warrants are overweight and none of the others can score above 50 percent on their PT tests.”
