Who cares. they served their obligation. Let them go. If the administration wants to wage war, then they need more troops to do it, and that costs money. don’t do it on the cheap and burn out the existing guys with repeated tours. These West Pointers see the writing on the wall. It will get worse unless we either ramp up the number of army (100,000 or so), or tell Iraq and Afghanistan its time to start ponying up. And those that stay, will make general.

<> Yes, they served their obligation. I think we as Americans should care when a large percent of our finest Army officer graduates are not continuing in the Army during war time.

“Who cares. they served their obligation. Let them go.”

Hell, the military must be way over sized...the Air Force has been “force shaping” or throwing huge numbers of officers out by Selective Early Retirement Board and Reduction in Force.
