True, but you are way underestimating the built in idiocy of the "system." If you were a responsible steward of the tax payers dollars you were rewarded with a budget cut the next FY. Oh and your CO probably got eaten alive by the wing commander for "under-executing."

The military was this way for decades and eventually most guys just gave up and just went along. A few years ago the military started showing signs of change - anyone currently flying wish to chime in?
