Soon they will have to promote more officers to the rank of General so the demand doesn't overrun the supply.

People forget that General Grade Officers are Presidential appointees.
It's not like you start off as Beetle Bailey and 40 years later you get promoted to General.
At the moment 70% of all Generals are Bush family appointees. So I'm thinking 30% are about ready to retire.

Well lets hope so what do you think Lincoln did during the Civil War? If you owned a company and wanted to take it in a certain direction but one of your main people didn't agree with it and was actively fighting against it wouldn't you fire him/her? You people's lack of knowledge when it comes to American history is mind boggling and frankly quite frightening.

Johnson did the same thing in Vietnam. The President will surround himself with people who agree with him.
