You mean retaining your retirement was worth more than walking away and getting real employment. Next time, be honest.

Most military members recognize it as a necessary part of doing business.
No, that's not true. It is nowhere near "most", most get out after their first enlistment because they see what's really going on and want no part of it.

People who see that things could be better are the real engine of progress in America. People satisfied with the status quo in their lives seldom create anything meaningful.

The AF is not undergoing a stop loss. In fact, currently the AF is downsizing by about 40K personnel and is releasing many young officers who volunteer and others against their will as well as holding early retirement boards for Colonels and Generals.
Good, now if we can increase that to about 1 million, we'd be getting somewhere.
