Newsflash: the Pentagon has literally _millions_ of bureaucrats.

None elected.

Unelected people are tasked with defending the free world. how about that?



I do wonder whether some people have thought out the end-game, in the event that they plan to simply fire all those people, turn them out onto the street, and replace them with nothing.

I mean, one outcome is the obvious collapse of the Pentagon. But it seems like an oversight to have those people, now with a bone to pick, running around loose. Do they propose to take all the bad Pentagon bureaucrats and confine them in some way? I wouldn't want to be the Sgt. Shultz in charge of being those guys' jailer. Seems like it would be a tall, tall order.


Millions of bureaucrats plotting to start new wars neither American public nor the rest of the world will not benefit from.


defending the un-free world, I think you mean. Unless you are exempt from forcible extraction of your wealth (taxes).
