The troops aren't war weary. There may have been a period 07-09 that some were. Those guys got out and the wars are over. There aren't any war weary troops in the US military. That's all spin from leftists.

The mass exodus you allude to was a direct result of poor leadership and horrible manpower planning (such as carrying garrison leadership style to combat zones). The Army in particular has a dysfunctional personnel management system.
There are bigger personnel management issues throughout DoD, overall. Been like that for decades. People write about them, but nothing changes.
As for war weary - garrison fatigue can take the fight out of a military faster than battle ever will. And that is 100% about leadership. People write about it, try to prompt change, but it rarely seems to result in change.
