Below are 2012 numbers of U.S. DOD military and civilian personnel. This is an important reference if one wants to consider budget issues in times of less real money.
Many things are interesting in all this, but look at the number of flag ranks. Good grief.

The ratio of officers to enlisted has gone from 1:10 to 1:5 in the past 50 years, we have more flag officers now (1.5m under arms) than we did in WWII (13m under arms), and we treat our generals like f%$#ing rock stars, with dozens of people assigned to each to drive them around, mow their lawns, clean their houses, do their laundry, etc., and I am referring to generals stationed at home.
It's insans.
