Army only had two capable brigades right now
You can expect that he will be allowed to retire soon. We cant have anyone talking about the emperors clothes or lack thereof.

The fact that you link to ‘The Blaze’ instead of a legitimate news agency tells me everything I need to know.
Nice try.
And I dare you to respond to this.

Aron,
Dares are for 8 year olds.
But be advised that Defense News covered this :

IBD Link: http://news.investors.com/politics-andrew-malcolm/102213-676088-ray-odierno-army-combat-brigades-way-below-minimum-after-cuts.htm
Huffpost, etc
Oh yeah, and the US Army media services as well. Link : http://www.army.mil/article/113560/SecArmy_McHugh__Budget_cuts_affecting_readiness/
Bottom line, the Army Chief of staff says that of the 30+ Brigade Combat teams, we only have TWO that are considered combat ready. Which is pretty abysmal.
Whether the Blaze reported it CNN reported it, or Al Jazerra reported it, the statement was still made.
