Long-term enlistments proved unpopular because the service-members interests changed. Issues such as marriages, births, deaths, and family problems are distractions, and long-term enlistments provided no opportunity to solve the problem. Also, interests changed; what was important to a young man who enlisted at age 18 may be less important at age 30.
