If it's legitimate fraud, waste, abuse and or incompetence such as found in the AF, then so be it. The Air Force crackdown though has more to do with many years of cost overruns for almost every major procurement without sufficient oversight. Also, because of the incompetence displayed over the nuclear weapons security issues, something had to be done. If there are any equivalent issues within the other services then of course it should be addressed.
That said, Sec. Gates seems to be addressing spending issues throughout but I don't think its having the same kind of effect on the careers of senior commanders as it is in the AF.
