Cuts

The United States Air Force is cutting 40,000 personnel from its ranks.

Cutting.

Dropping. Even paying HUGE amounts of money to people to compensate them for getting out.

I'm assuming that the reasoning behind this is to reduce the cost to the US Government in paying the extra 40,000 bodies. But it will result in 40,000 open jobs that will fall squarely on the shoulders of those of us that are left. And 40,000 less people to deploy--but not 40,000 less deployments.

Things are starting to get bad.
