Indeed, and I note the following key paragraphs that were not included in your clip...

"Patterson says the new initiatives were developed from surveying West Point cadets and college students headed into the Army under the ROTC program. When asked which were likely to persuade them to stay longer, they said graduate school, choice of job and choice of where to live.

The Army also is suffering a severe shortfall in new recruits, but that is being offset in part by better-than-average retention rates of those who have already enlisted.

What this tells us:

1. there are at least 3 reasons (graduate school, choice of job and choice of where to live) ahead of ending the Iraq war that would cause them to stay longer, and

2. enlisted soldiers have better-than-average retention rates
