Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Clinton practices will come back in spades, buddy. Bigger and better than before!
And I thought "that explains everything ..."
That’s exactly what Obama wants. They should stay and fight.

And once again, we shall have “political” generals filling the top eschelons of the military, the junior officers then leaving the service in droves, and the services unable to meet even modest enlistment goals without resorting to a military draft.

ROTC shall become a thing of the past, with officers “democratically” elected from the ranks of their peers, after, of course, they have been properly “vetted” by the CO.
