The all volunteer force is expensive beyond belief...I laugh everytime somebody says it saves money

What was that saying by a famous American? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The cost of DOD and the government, as a whole, is beyond my belief.

I am very familiar with a large civilian organization in the Fed. The people seldom work more than four-and-half hours a day! The rest of their day is breaks, lunch and "so-called briefings". And their salaries are 100K on the low end. 150K plus is not rare in this organization.

Not opposed to higher pay for skilled work. Am strongly opposed to any management that knowingly allows people to "slough off". (Even if they are unionized). :-)
