But maybe I misunderstand you as over here any soldier can buy themselves out of their contract, in fact the training is pretty much designed to weed out those who are unsuitable for a professional army. Are you saying the US soldier can't leave? They are conscripts?
In the U.S., if you join the military you cannot leave until your commitment is over. If it weren't that way, you'd have to pay soldiers a lot more money, maybe millions of dollars if they're actually being shot at.

They can't buy themselves out!? Thats absurd, who'd want a squadmate who doesn't want to be there?

Given that you have one of the biggest infantry in the world what makes them join?

No, they can't buy themselves out, but why should they have to buy themselves out? If a company hires you for a job, and after awhile you decide that you don't like it, you can just quit. Even if you sign a contract, you can quit. Why do you think the military can charge a soldier with being AWOL (absent without leave) if he had the freedom of just walking away like in a civilian job? I doubt that soldiers anywhere in the world can just quit.
