Just have to hold politicians in contempt. At the same time they are wordering 30,000 patriots out of the service, they have increased the number of bureaucrats by 500,000 at all levels of government. Try firing some useless and redundant paper pushers instead of Marines and other military who are actually doing something useful.

Soldiery is one of the most important jobs a man can do, and soldiers must be respected.  If the state betrays its soldiers, they might as well turn their soldiers' guns on themselves.  That's how most civil wars started: when the military feels is has been betrayed by the state, it can take over.  It's the old Spanish Civil War play.
