Nothing has changed and you're right they are Whiners. The military has to take care of their operations and you get what you want if that agrees with what they need for manning requirements. When you take the oath and sign the enlistment contract you need to understand this. It was that way in 1970 when I went in the United States Air Force and it was that way before that. What they need to learn is stop whining and learn that the sergeant will save their rear ends. Extensions of duty are nothing new.
