Yes SIR! Now, get out and go away.

The new Sec of Def has mandated a 20% cut of senior generals and admirals.  The combined compensation for these 37 people costs us $10,000,000 a year.

As of right now, there are hundreds of various generals and flag officers in the US Army and Navy.  We have enough active duty admirals to almost exactly match how many active duty warships we have! The US Army, with only 11 divisions and roughly 50 significant installations (with hundreds of minor ones worldwide) has about 230 generals.

Yeah, I'd say some careful pruning is far overdue.
