Serving the Reserves

Mudville Gazette has a story on the 80% retention rates the reserves are seeing right now. 80% retention for the reserves in a time of war just sounds amazing to me. Why are they staying in?
"It's who I am; it's what I do."
"Duty, honor, country."
"If not me, who will do it?"
Why are 20% getting out?
"Not enough money or bonuses."
"Not worth the risk."
"Tired of higher rank bullheadedness and lower rank slothfulness."
Check out 1st Lieutenant Bishop's quote at the end. It's a winner.
