we have gotten to the point of having too high of a "chief to indian" ratio, with almost as many admirals as ships etc, the "brass creep" that he's talking about is real.

This is normal in protected organizations. As they shrink the low ranking positions go away but there is a huge resistance to cutting top level positions.

I suspect you can find a lot of this throughout American industry right now.
