Remember, *rump and Hegseth have both complained there's too many stars in the military..."We won WWII with only a dozen or so Generals and Admirals according to the History Channel!"
Hegseth thinks he only needs 100 loyal flag officers to control his "Department of War"; he knows he can't control 800.
On edit. The Project 2025 plan for the military is to "strengthen it" through privatization, "just in time" contracted logistics - and conscripted forces. Like third world countries do.
The "Professional Military" will be run like a more heavily armed mercenary policing force that will eventually use AI, unmanned platforms, and specialized combat forces to enforce Nationalist Hegomony.
Because to enforce an Authoritarian regime, the amount of people that have autonomy and privilege needs to be small...
