Damn...

...I hate what they've done to my Army.

After Schoomaker confronted Rumsfeld with the Army's own estimates for maintaining the current size and commitments — and the steps that would have to be taken to meet the lower figure, which included cutting four combat brigades and an entire division headquarters unit — Rumsfeld agreed to set up a task force to investigate Army funding...

...The study group — which included three-star officers from the Army and Rumsfeld's office — has since agreed with the Army's initial assessment.

Cutting four brigades? While there are only "two or three" operationally ready to respond to a military crisis?

Of course, soldiers cost money that could be spent on weapons systems and the Pentagon's various corporate sponsors.

That's just one reason Rummy hates soldiers.

But this is insane.
