McClatchy: Gates proposal would cut thousands of Defense jobs
With war funding, the defense budget has doubled since 2001.
Gates called for the closure of the Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., one of the military's 10 commands. It employs 2,800 Defense Department employees and another 3,000 contractors, and has a $704 million operating budget.

We are being strangled by this sector. It's turned us into a Roman style Military State. The Legions now run this country. Generals, Colonels, Admirals run most of the Corps. as if they're military orgs. It's been a slow motion coup since WW2. Offend these folks and you don't survive long.
Gates is weak on defense, he must be an al Qaeda sympathizer.
No, au contraire. He's cutting so he can field more combat troops wherever. There is always some other conflict we can manage to make worse you know.
