Army to cut up to 4k captains and majors

The most Obama had to do with that decision would have been to give a budget figure toCongress, who (the AFcommittee) would give their recommendations to the Pentagon.....

Major is the average retirement rank for an officer, captain for prior enlisted. FYI the average retirement rank for enlisted personnel (20 years, yes) is E-7.

The point is, such retirements aren't all that early, and it's nothing which hasn't happened before. Several times - under Presidents of both parties.

Question asking if Soldiers would fire on Americans back
Make no mistake about it. One of the most shocking revelations in recent decades was when it was discovered in 1994 that the US military was surveying US soldiers to see if they’d be willing to fire on unarmed American citizens while confiscating their guns. Now, whistleblowers say the Obama administration is quietly asking the military that question again.

‘I would fire upon US citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the United States government – [Strongly Disagree] [Disagree] [Agree] [Strongly Agree] [No Opinion]’ – that was the final question on a 1994 survey administered to certain US military personnel from the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Once discovered, like Paul Revere speeding through the streets of Massachusetts, active and retired US soldiers frantically and immediately spread the warning from one end of the country to the other.
