1. They get paid.
2. They cannot leave anytime they want.

Yes, they weren't forced to sign up, but doctors and lawyers and ditchdiggers aren't forced to choose those jobs either. Is every employed person in the USA a "volunteer?"

I love it when people feel free to redefine words when the traditional definition doesn't fit their view of the world.

Noun 1. military volunteer - (military) a person who freely enlists for service
