In about two months, this chatter will start up. Gazing at my crystal ball....I'm predicting four things:
1. Massive downsizing of troops in Europe....where there will be one single 3-star general, and one single 1-star admiral.
2. From the remaining situation....about half of the four-star positions will either drop to a 2-star position or be eliminated entirely.
3. You see forty of the current 4-star folks gone by June...retired.
4. For a bunch of Lt Col's and Col's, who were on some path....dreaming of a 4-star ending....it's a crushing emotion, and they all start to rethink things after their 20th year....exiting/retiring.

It has been said before, but as the song says, it bears repeating: “In 1944 there were 256 flags for 6,084 ships; today there are 359 flag officers for 280 ships.”
