They don't feel Iraq is worth it and after one tour of duty they've got all the experience, awards, medals, stories, accomplishments and glory they need for a lifetime. No point in a second tour. Big business covets their skills and maturity and works extra hard to recruit them. Its working. Working on a big time generation gap in officers. "Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" --Mark Twain "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses." --George W. Bush Edited by tuberculosis Aug. 21, 2007, 06:35:41 AM EDT Expand All History
