America has the strongest, most capable military in the world. But firing uniformed leaders as a type of political loyalty test... erodes the trust and professionalism that our servicemembers require to achieve their missions.
the responsibility for this predicament and it is a very serious one is shared by both Congress and the Executives.
I have always advocated for efficiency at the Department of Defense, but tough personnel decisions should be based on facts and analysis, not arbitrary percentages.
