Abstract: Abstract THE ARMY KNEW IT HAD A PROBLEM AFTER a few years of occupying Iraq, and it wasn’t long before the public knew it too. On April 10, 2006, a headline in the New York Times announced: “Young Officers Leaving Army at a High Rate” and noted that the retention rate for West Point graduates had collapsed.2 This was a recurrent problem that the Pentagon had struggled with since at least the end of World War II, although the shift to an all-volunteer force in the 1970s and consequent improvement in the quality of life had, it was thought, solved the problem.
