I agree the bonuses are a bad idea.
I agree that most of what you say applies to other ranks as well. more so than the Army seems to realize...
I agree on the 1/4 command time versus inane staff jobs and having been forced into several of those due to age and civilian status late in life for about 12 straight years in a HQ echelons above reality I have horror stories out the wazoo about aimless unnecessary work...
I really agree with and understand your last paragraph and it truly and seriously pains me to say that the problem went for all the 45 years I was in or working for the Army and it is obvious that it still occurs twelve years later.
That is a huge lick on the Generals.
They are going to face a grass roots rebellion fairly soon and they do not seem to either realize it or be very concerned about it. SAD.
