More bureaucracy...the US military increases its BLOAT but not its combat power in the Pacific

The U.S. is establishing a new military command in Japan to strengthen security ties.

The US military has a problem. It has a general officer issue. We have so much bloat, so little accountability and so little commonsense that I wonder how we even carry out daily functions. From my chair it looks like this. Imagine a local convience store. You have one checkout person and one person stocking shelves. You have 10 managers supervising the activity with all 10 being paid quite generously and reporting up the line. How does the owner save money? In the US military it would be to cut the person stocking shelves and make the guy at the check out stock and handle customers. Everyone else knows that you could knock out 9 of the managers. The US military is just a modern day welfare society for flag officers.
