Not at all. My 22 years of honorable service was fully volunteered.
I could have got out at any time.

That's exactly what drug addicts say all the time. Were you a drug addict?

Close. Most lifers I've known hate making everyday decisions like what to
wear, what to do, where to go, what to eat. The military makes them for you.
You wear the uniform of the day, go where and do what you're told, sleep
where you're told and eat what you're given. Convicts also find it so hard
to make these decisions after years of incarceration that many commit a
crime and go back within weeks of getting out. Imagine the security of
sleeping protected by guards, being waked up and fed, exercised and fed,
entertained and fed, then sent to your bed again, day after day, year after
year. Some find it addictive.
