Cheney says 25 percent force cut inevitable at Pentagon
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney warned that a quarter reduction in forces over five years would trim about 600,000 military and civilian workers. He cited retiring six Army divisions, 111 Navy ships and 11 Air Force wings, noting a shift toward a smaller, less balanced force. He argued such cuts would save $8.6 billion but alarmed Democrats who questioned the claimed savings and warned of major installations closures and large layoffs.
