The number is low.

200 marines volunteer to extend.
I don’t have first hand knowledge of the men serving now, but I think that that number is that number because that was a unit in whole, rather than the thousands who push for continued service. The individuals who volunteer is MUCH MUCH MUCH larger I would guess. I volunteered for every mobilization and I was a pogue, and many of those in my platoon, not to mention those grunts I knew who to a one volunteered.
You join, you serve, and everyone wants to do their job, whether it is a pleasent job or not. as a whole branch the number I bet is damn near 100%.
update: and really? is there a better job on the planet?
