Can you justify keeping them if we don't?
Unless the Iranians do something ljke nuke one of our cities, I don’t see us going in heavy on the ground. Not right now, and not with this president.
Which ones, the flags or the civilians? From the guidance we’ve received we are cutting civilian jobs just to cut them. Every department has been told to identify whatever number of billets which equals between 8 and 10%. I can easily justify keeping the ones in my division where I’m currently at. Who do you think is picking up the work of CENTCOM work as the staff disperses or the new extra tasks as a result of their increase? The work isn’t stopping.
I agree with this but we have a recent history of not thinking through everything.

I don't even know where to put this.
This week we received an email with an Intelink URL for a survey about some "civilian cybersecurity reserve". Basically a group of qualified (allgedly) volunteers tasked to respond to cybersecurity events and threats, which I don't know if anyone knows what that means, but whatever. I Googlate civilian cybersecurity reserve and see the concept goes back to July 2021 and signed as part of the 2023 defense bill or some such nonsense.
2023 and we're just now dropping a survey to collect input on the value of such a force. Discussed for two years before it was approved and then 2 years later we're going to survey the need for such a thing. Regardless of what I think of this...entity, why does it take 2 years to send out a survey? If folks are serious about draining the swamp and improving government as a whole for all Americans, it is dumb shit like this which needs scrutiny. You want to talk about an inefficient government or government waste and fraud, here you go because the survey is also being done in conjunction with a university. That university will want to be paid for its efforts, I'm sure it has a nice 6 figure grant to participate.
This little nickel and dime shit is killing us. 100k here and 100k there flies under the radar, but it adds up.
