The dishonesty of the NY Times

Gateway Pundit has the data on the Times story this morning on retention of company grade officers by the military including this chart which indicates how misleading the Times story is.

...

Never mind that the trend shows young officers are staying in the service at a rate much higher than when Bill Clinton was president. Never mind that there was improvement this quarter... It still screams "quagmire!" at the Times.

...
The neo quagmirest strike again. This is the story they were trying to overshadow.

...

The Army was 15% ahead of its re-enlistment goal of 34,668 for the first six months of fiscal year 2006, which ended March 31. More than 39,900 soldiers had re-enlisted, according to figures scheduled to be released today by the Army.

...
The Times seems to withhold material facts needed to put a story in context. They are acting more like a PR arm of the DNC sometimes. While the still have straight news stories that are played straight, this was not one of them.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
