In a move praised as modernizing the service, the Army scales back many “mickey mouse” regulations seen as perpetuating caste norms.

Jeffrey Hart argues that this lame duck session is using its final acts to decide major issues such as welfare reform and the SST.

The piece argues government welfare grows as private industry fails to match census-driven demand.
