I see your point, but in my view, I don't see this particular group of people as being a "problem"....

These people volunteer to serve their country, which can't be said for a whole shitload of people, most of whom do nothing but bitch...

So while they do their time, they take advantage of the tremendous education benefits that the military dangles in front of them, and they then decide to get out when their time's up.....

I don't think that's a problem at all, although I agree with you, it's definitely a problem to Bush and his cronies....

The end result is more and more people are separating from the militrary rather than making the military a career....

Such a clever boy!

All you had to do was look to Nickdfresh's signature for inspiration.

Well, let's face facts...

Since the majority of the troops left Vietnam in '73, and the draft subsequently ended, a good percentage of the people joining the military are not joining to become full-time commandos.

And that includes me. Fortunately, I took advantage of my opportunities and I made the military a career for 20 years.

But if you ask most people joining the military nowadays, they're doing it because;

1. They're gonna take college courses with 100% tuition assistance when they're off duty. (Doesn't apply to me, I was drunk the first 10 years in the Navy)
2. They can't afford to go to college on their own or via their parents. (Fully applies to me.)
3. They can't find steady work and/or make a decent living at home. (Me, once again)
4. Some kind of combination of 1, 2, 3.

So unless you were some kind of wannabe badass in high school, you're not joining the military to be Rambo.

You're joining the military to make a living.

Get a degree and learn a skill to make good money on the outside.

Remember back to Fahrenheit 9/11 when Michael Moore did the story on how good the military recruiting is in his hometown of Flint, MI because the economy is so shitty.

So going back to this story, I can absolutely see why so many "officers" are leaving. I think the fact that they're specifying "officers" is irrelevant, young officers are almost as young as young enlisted folks. Young officers get deployed just as much as young enlisted.

Let's remember also, since Vietnam ended, there hasn't been close to being such a long "war", just small escalations. Libya, Grenada, Haiti, Somalia, Panama, Bosnia, and of course Desert Storm, etc., etc.

I know it sounds shitty, but I'm not surprised at all that so many are leaving, because it probably wasn't the MAIN reason for them joining.

Excellent points...and all true.

Yet so many 'Cons want to slam Kerry for telling the truth about not getting good grades and winding up in Iraq.

You join the military in any capacity nowadays, you are going,period.

Not sure about the Navy, but the rest do apply here.

Some guys want to advance their careers by doing some tours in Iraq,like my bro-in-law..non-combat MOS, but dangerous nonetheless...no front, no standing Army to fight, Just a bunch of muslim rednecks taking pot-shots at americans because they CAN!! It's acceptable.

Not for me.

DC makes alot more sense in these parts than most. The shit between him and Assvibe is theirs. You taking sides with him (or her) makes you come off like a NeoCunt....you don't wanna be one of those bottom-feeders..

Now get to that graduation party, buy a box o' con-domes, slap your nuts against some 18 year old ass, puke, bang some more, listen to the 6-pack, drink the 6-pack, puke again, have some shots and have someone pour you out onto your porch when your done!!

Or I'm-a call you a bitch!

The Navy's going more and more in country nowadays bro....

They've always been in the Gulf, but for the last few years they've been sending a lot of Sailors for security-related training, and it's to Iraq they go....
