I think part of the reason for the new "fluffy" Corps is that the military realizes they have a hard time competing with the private sector. Sure, you'll have guys & gals that WANT to be career soldiers. But for the most part, when someone is of age they have the options of College, job, or military. College is a party; job = money; military = B.S. thrown in your face. If the Military didn't change the way they did things, they'd not be able to compete. As it is, most people I know who are my age and in the military or who were, went in order to get money for school. I only know one guy who signed up for a second stint and he was my college roomie.
