Army to force out 550 majors; some in Afghanistan

I have a friend who was a commander in the Army's tank division. He said that division needed to put some of the middle management to retirement because there are so few officer spots that it's hard to advance. He said that it's one of the new divisions that have 20 year captains, not because they aren't good enough to advance but because there are so few spots for people to move up to.
