FROM USA TODAY...
The Pentagon's plan to cut 80,000 soldiers is fine with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno, as long as it takes six years to do it.
"If they told me I had to do it in two years, I would not have been OK with 490,000," Odierno said.
Reducing the Army's size is part of President Obama's plan to cut $487 billion from growth in the Pentagon's budget over the next decade. Odierno outlined the Army's future for a small group of reporters in his office earlier this week. He talked about the size of the Army, its capabilities and the equipment it will need over the next decade.
