Ignoring that the complaints are apparently coming mostly from senior officers, because the governement is paying them to reenlist? From the article:
"So far this year, the Army has doled out an average bonus of $14,000, to eligible soldiers, for a total of $610 million in extra payments.
'The bonuses have a lot to do with it, along with a feeling of accomplishment that comes with doing their mission,' said Army spokesman Henry Minitrez."

They could have given out triple the bonuses they are giving out now during Vietnam, and there still is no way they would have gotten these type of retention rates.
In addition, if it is such a hopeless quagmire why are they getting that "feeling of accomplishment that comes with doing their mission".
