Once again the less than 1 % of the US population already sacrificing a shitload more than the rest of the mouth breathers, must sacrifice some more? F--- him. They are already Atlas. They should be paying the 1%ers a lot more and then some.

Two big old thumbs up SinJefe! The army does this drill after every conflict and they never learn. The Obama lapdogs Dempsey, Odierno and Chandler will do Dear Leaders bidding for him and the US will once again have a hallow force. This makes my blood boil.

everytime I look at the chain of cmd on the wall in my office I can't help but think that Hagel looks like a warmed-over rummy well past his prime. Anyone else forced to endure that picture hanging in their office??
hell - why don't we just effing require that new soldiers coming in to the service tithe part of their paychecks to the looters out there? Kind of like "adopt-a-savage".

And how much is Hagel prepared to be squeezed for the good of preparedness? It is an all volunteer force maybe everyone should just get out.

Funny how he pitches the "we will need newer, better shinnier toys" while talking the need to cut the pay of those operating said toys. I wonder what he gets from the captains of industry for a speech like that?

If they aren't careful they're going to go too far and create disincentives for anyone from staying in past 8-10 years. That's going to be hard to fix once it's broken, and there aren't enough mid-level officers and NCOs.

I remember somebody once told me that Humans are more important than hardware.
probably as relevant to an all volunteer force as it is to SOF.

Maybe he should lead. Cut his own pay, office budget and travel commercial and not like a minor god. I didn't realize jr. NCO's could be such yes men and political hacks. Maybe he should have same sex with himself.

does this mean the government and congress will have to turn in those VIP health care programs and enroll in the ACA ?
No more frivolous congressional budgets...
...surely congress can pay for their own 'lunch'
No more access to "legal" insider training by congress...
...no more taxpayer funded 'vacations' made to look like diplomatic trips
No more contract awards to friends and family of congress or the administration for shit that is unneeded or unwarranted...
Yep... I think Secretary Hagel might be on to something.
