US Army reviews

Frequent moves mean you never get really comfortable in a job and they cause stress on families. Frequent deployments also stress families. There's a "we can do it" culture, no matter what the mission, which leads to doing more with fewer resources and less time. Outstanding performance isn't recognized with additional pay or faster promotions, creating little incentive to excel. But the biggest problem is that as officers progress in the Army, many of the best ones tend to get out in favor of civilian jobs, which dilutes the quality of officers at higher levels.

WAR in IRAQ WAR in Afghanistan George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld Basically if you think that the war is a mistake that was perpetrated on the American people by lies coming from the highest levels in our government, you probably won't be too happy with your job. Contractual obligations that make it difficult or impossible to quit even if you want to except during certain limited windows in your career. However, even outside of disagreements with the wars the Army has other disadvantages to consider. Even during normal peace-time type operations that hours are usually extremely long depending on what position you are in. The Army always takes precedence over everything else in your life. If you want to live a normal life and care about things like family, then the Army is not a good place to be. Difficulty in controlling your career path. You get slotted in a position and sent to locations with minimal interest from the Army in what you want to do. The "needs of the Army" are the most important factor in determining what job you do and where you live, and you can't just quit if you don't like what you are told to do.
