get rid of drill and ceremony, parades, ceremonies, division reviews, etc, and anything thats cosmetic only.
get rid of the KBR cooks, cooks int he army dont do shit on deployment unless they're on a small base that doesnt have KBR, its time for spoons to start to earn their paychecks.
get rid of infantry and ALL other combat arms jobs in the nasty guard. 2 days a month and 2 weeks a year isnt enough time to be proficient at combat or know how to keep yourself a live. since on average it takes 12 soldiers to rescue and save 1 fallen one, combat arms in the nasty guard is a HUGE drain on our military.
take all news casters out of iraq/afghanistan. its not he publics business how i conduct myself during a raid, and the public cant understand the difference between keeping myself alive and being too agressive.
get rid of general order number 1 on deployments. we were able to drink and fuck in every single long war (any war before vietnam) that we kicked ass in. if i have a long day i should be able to knock back a beer and pound some AF girl's box until she cant walk the next day.
get rid of all of hte unneeded comforts on the large bases. infantry guys who are stuck in shithole PBs that barely have a gym are doing just fine, some paper pusher in the finance office or whatever doesnt need a pool and a burger king and a coffee shop. its deployment, life isnt supposed to be comfortable.
back off on the ROE and EOF guidelines. the individual infantryman is smart enough to know who he should and shouldnt kill, he doesnt need to justify it to someone who's never seen the outside of the FOB.
take ALL that money you just saved up and put it into gear, vehicles, weapons, and training.
