<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My issue isn&#39;t so much that they&#39;re cutting everyone&#39;s numbers as much as the nonsense that we&#39;ll most likely buy with the freed up money.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If they want to reduce number I say do what any good business does, shift around assets until the numbers look right. Move a large percentage of Active SMs to Reserves and Guards. If anything pops off we will have a force to call upon, and no need for a major swelling in numbers by lowering standards to get the numbers.
