Ah, the ol' "inauthenticity inherent in the lack of circumspection" argument.  Errrrr...I guess I don't know exactly what you're getting at here.  Are you saying there is a power assigning subjectivity in bad faith?  Clue me in. 

Whereas, if a person is an ordinary employee of a company, a student enrolled into college, then it is easy to just quit. 

John, I really don't think that's the case.  The analogy is even ill-fitting--the armed forces clothe, feed, and house recruits; it's a commitment one makes and understands.  Also, we don't have a draft.
