Bleeding Talent by Tim Kane--(A Few Good Men and How the Military Lost Them)

and excerpt :
"Dick Hewitt graduated near the top of the class from West Point. His
first assignment was with the legendary 82nd Airborne Division at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina. Hewitt, like many of the young officers that
received so much attention at the height of the Iraq war, also decided
to leave the Army a few years after the 9/11 attacks. But here's the
difference: Hewitt had served a full 20-year career. He had checked all
the right boxes, even getting tapped to command a battalion when he was
just a major. So when Hewitt decided to leave, it was not because the
Army had a minor morale problem causing retention heartburn, but rather
it was because of a deeper and more nuanced institutional dysfunction.
