There's a desperate element to it without a doubt. Evidence of pressure from being over committed.
Its also evidence of what some have been saying for about two years, that a price will be paid in terms of re-enlisting experienced people or even finding new recruits down the road.
Breaking the all volunteer army.
Still, it would have to go on a while yet, another year or a bit more, before that prediction would begin to look ominous. Just my guess.
