That's not a bad idea. I prefer the idea, though, of direct access to the troops. Instead of having their opinions filtered through the chain of command, how about the independent Inspector's General have an office which works directly with military personnel from the lowest rank all the way up? My ultimate concern is clearly representation of the interest of the lower ranks being represented in some transparent and independent way.

Speculative? Tell me where ANY union job has made the cost of labor CHEAPER?
Many other job benefits are direct result of unions, and the benefits of them are not legally mandated, but to be competitive with other companies. There's no mandate for sick days, vacation days, personal days. Yet many companies give them for the sole reason of benefit to the employee.
As far as the idea of another position that isn't DoD, you think THAT won't be political?
