I AGREE WITH FORM LETTER #1, THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IS DOOMED TO BRING BACK THE "SPOILS SYSTEM" FROM THE CIVIL WAR ERA. SUBJECTIVE AND ARBITRARY DECISIONS ARE IN THE OFFING. YOU WILL LOSE 80% OF YOUR WORKFORCE WITHIN 10 YEARS, AND RIGHTLY SO. EACH NEW SEC.-DEF. WILL MAKE CHANGES TO RIGHT PERCEIVED WRONGS, AND IN 20 YEARS, YOU WILL HAVE CREATED THE GS SYSTEM AGAIN. RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL SHOULD NOT BE DONE FIRST IN THE D.O.D.------ NOT DURING A WAR.
