As a standoff continues over the Pentagon's abortion policies and the promotions of nearly 200 senior officers, the senator at the center of the controversy is emphasizing a new argument for delaying the promotions: The military has too many generals and admirals.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., made the argument on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon after he objected to an attempt by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., to quickly confirm the nominees he has been slow-rolling.

"Experts have known for more than a decade that the military is top heavy. We do not suffer from a lack of generals," Tuberville said. "When my dad served in World War II, we had one general for every 6,000 troops. Think about that: one for every 6,000. Now, we have one general for every 1,400 enlisted service members."

He's right.

And if someone were to research it,they would discover that most of this generations General Officers are the sons and daughters of General  Officers.

Back in the campaign manager days, I was chair for a guy who was a former Major in the Army and was at the Pentagon for a few years. He said that nearly every high ranking officer there basically spent their days trying to grow their staff, departments and budgets by the most shady means necessary. There were even two that would pass bogus paperwork back and forth to make it looks like it was real workload.
