Its Not our People, Its our Processes

We’ve written a couple of posts recently concerning Representative Thornberry’s proposals to reduce the size of the Defense Department’s “fourth estate”. See, for example, Proposal to Cut $25 Billion from DoD Support Agencies and Comprehensive Pentagon Bureaucracy Reform and Reduction Act.These proposals have garnered a lot of attention in the press. The idea that you could abolish seven major Defense agencies and no one would notice or the persistent stories in the press that fourth estate workers were standing around with their hands in their pockets has got to have had a demoralizing effect on affected staffs.
