That was my first thought, too. But - the report is from summer 2010, one and a half year ago. And about growing bureaucracy and personnel drain there have been reports before, too.
That does not prove your idea is wrong. But both points also do not especially support it, but contradict it.
Anyway, the whiole military machine is terribly much greatere than what American can afford by own financial power. And as I said in some other thread, it leaves me with a dilemma, for I honestely have no answer what to do. Doing business as sual and all on tic, will spell disaster sooner or later. Shortening the military probbaly also will. And sicne America fter WWII never switchzed back to peace time production and thus allowed its economy depending and the profiteering people growing strong within the military, this has brought America very much into a dead end.
Solution? I have none. Maybe it just is meant to blow up.
