THE RIF

A RIF (Reduction In Force)

A RIF IS WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER EVERY WAR. I am really ticked off, reducing the military, like we always do is not a simple process. The military has made promises and now they are breaking them, sorry MFers. 

What makes a RIF (reduction in force)  unpalatable is that the military makes promises to soldiers (Marines, Navy, all called soldiers--at least by me) Then along comes the RIF and the Generals/whoever (only interested in numbers) say to them, "f..k you very much. Thank you for your service. Goodbye." 

The civilian community has no real concept of the military and what it does. An example: Recently, I talked to the Mother of an AF nurse. The nurse/daughter just returned from a year in Dubai. Do most Americans even know that we have those like this daughter doing a dangerous job in Dubai? NO.
