What are your thoughts on the level of reductions we've seen in the federal workforce in the past three weeks? I'm very disappointed in our leadership in that we have not insisted on bigger reductions. Right now We have well over 700,000 non uniformed employees in the Department of Defense. Nobody thinks that we need those 700,000 people. I do not know why our committees and our leadership is going with mild reductions there. I Think we could lay off 200 or 300,000 employees?
