No doubt about that. But that is not where cuts are made, at least that is not what the Clinton model used. The big business interests are preserved because Congress controls the purse strings and they are not about to let down these perks and lobbiests. Obama seems to be leaning toward a number of Clinton era advisors. There is no reason to think that he and the dems in congress will not do the same. Troop strength will be cut. Overall cuts in troop strength diminish the pool of selectable troops needed for the more cream of the crop organizations.
