As I understand it...McCain's position (similar to the Pentagon's position according to what I heard of Gates' press conference on the radio) is that the qualification term being only 3 years of active service encourages people to get out of the service quickly and will hurt the all-volunteer force. Gates said DoD wants a soldier to have to re-enlist at least one time in order to be eligible for full benefits.
