If a service member wishes to cancel their contract early, should they be allowed to?

I know for some military members, especially those who first enter the military, want to get out early. In my own opinion, it brings bad moral to a unit and can be very toxic if they have a negative attitude toward their workplace. I just want to know what other active service members and retirees think.

The U.S. Government and the individual enter into a mutually binding contract. Unless the service member, somehow, becomes unable (NOT unwilling) to uphold their end of the agreement, the answer is a resounding "NO."

No. I understand what you're saying and personally I'd happily be rid of some of them as well, but the contract has a duration for a reason, and a very large part of that is personnel and manning planning. If we allow people to leave early we lose all of the predictability of that process and there are significant compounding effects.
