Won't happen. The "military-industrial complex" is too firmly entrenched. The defense contractors, read also retirement jobs for Field Grade Officers, have a grip on our military which cannot be easily broken. We employ these firms to do jobs that we used to have servicemembers do. We shrink the military, we grow the contractors. It costs more but it appears that we saved on soldier costs. we are in the trap and need people of integrity to pull us out. Congress lacks the integrity to do the job.
