That's a good point about the redundancy in having multiple services. Not sure how much light Canada sheds on the subject. Our Dept of National Defense still seems bloated, extremely slow in procurement, prone to overpaying massively on gear, choosing the wrong gear and slow to act on sexual harassment. On the other hand our tooth-to-tail ratio is one of the better ones. And Canadian soldiers have served honorably and well in combat.

Canada performed not such much "incremental rollbacks" as "wholesale reversal" of the singe force change.

If you say so. I don't claim to be an expert on the Canadian military. What seemed significant to me was that I couldn't find any examples (in my admittedly limited research -- where do people even find time to write multiple answers a day on this site) of people arguing for rollback on the basis of practical concerns. Arguments invariably appealed to the importance of tradition in maintaining esprit de corps. Why three services (in Canada) is optimal for esprit de corps is never addressed.

what if you wanted waste, inefficiency and duplication of effort because you were getting paid per unit of effort?
