Liquid, personal insults aside, I think we are getting to the core of the problem. You and your peers are simply out of touch with reality.
I am seeing the AF very much turn into just a "job". Many of us entered the service with wide-eyed, idealistic visions of service before self. Also, don't forget that a lot of people from which you are hearing these complaints joined after 9/11/01. What they are finding, though, is that their leadership has not been able to keep its eye on the ball with regard to taking care of people and putting the mission first. I'm not talking about the "mission first" we put at the bottom of a .ppt slidedeck.
So, yes, I will continue to serve until I either can't take the madness anymore, or until the opportunity cost of separating prior to being retirement eligible is too high. But, it is increasingly becoming more like any other "job" out there, with the exception of risks/inconveniences that are synonymous with military service that are not a factor in the civilian work force.
