My opinion is Webb knew that smart legislators would object and than the DEMS could claim that those that object don't care about those who serve... |
But the amount of 2 year enlistments is VERY limited, and if you get out before your term of service (ie get out at 2 on a 4 year contract) you won't qualify for Ed bennies.
If they use up their quota of 2 year enlistments they aren't just going to let everyone enlist for 2 years. Most jobs don't even have a 2 year option.
I don't see an issue with the proposal.
