Signing up for American military service is voluntary; no one is forced to do it.
Every service man and woman knows that no matter how many years the contract states, there is always that clause that says you can be kept in service according to the needs of the service during war. If people don't like that clause, then they shouldn't sign the contract.
How could the military win wars if they allowed people to leave when they wanted? It would be chaos. Do you think that soldiers in the middle of the battles at Normandy, or the Bulge, or Iwo Jima said, "Oh, look at the calendar; my contract time is up--I'm going home. Bye-bye."
No. Soldiers don't leave their buddies behind to do all the fighting without them just because they decide their time is up. Sailors don't tell the captain of the ship to let them off half way thru a cruise.
