I am pretty sure there are amazing Defence people who are intelligent, competent and smart. My point is that these people could have been much better doing something else in the real world. For a developed country like USA soldiers is mostly a very low productivity job often a drain on tax payer. Can US Military reduce its manpower by 10% and still defend its country ? I believe the answer is Yes. How about 20% ? How about 50% ?

The point is that the guy who is wasting his life in Iraq as a Captain could have become and engineer and lead a team. Each time a bodybag returns from Iraq I see a life wasted.
