Why assume those laid-off will even stay in the US?
The well-qualified can work where they want
You can't attract and retain "the brightest and best" by laying them off

With Russia and other nations possessing faster missiles than "The West", this seems a bizarre move
You'd think The US would be hiring rather than firing
