Reduction in Force in the Military

The Air Force is doing a RIF in it's ranks.  Guess who is being mustered out?  Well, they are starting at the top.  Those who are close to retirement are the ones being targeted.  16 years in with three tours in Iraq and now being forced out with only 4 years to retirement.  And again, the country thanks the troops by kicking them in the ass after they have given most of their working lives.  Disgusting.
