<p>You are right JAM it is controlled by congress. A new congress that has already stated it’s desire to reduce the military. I lived through the Bathtub years. I know what happened then and what will happen again very soon. Take a good look at what happened to the classes of 93 to 96 JAM. The number of rated officers was dramatically reduced. This was in line with force shaping. </p>
<p>The number of appointments will reduce they may not go below 1000 by law right now, but admissions may only offer 1000 instead of say 1400. The number who graduate will reduce in direct proportion to the number they off admission.</p>
<p>AC military times did the polling and it was 68% to 29%. I respect your opinion differs, but I assure you it is and will continue to be a minority opinion of the people you seek to lead.</p>
<p>Oh and I recognize he will be the Commander in Chief and all lawfull orders given by him must be followed by anyone who wears the uniform. I do not approve of anyone offering public disrespect to him or the office. I would suggest that if you are unable to adhere to that it is your obligation to separate becuase you do not serve a man or political party but a nation.</p>
