The active duty qoutas are being met via "stop loss" and a good portion of those on active duty are reservists. I've got a friend over there on his 3rd tour, and while he still remains loyal to his core beliefs, he's not very happy with how certain things are being handled. Stop loss being one of them.
So long as no other hotspots arise, they can hand out all the rose colored glasses they want, and nobody will be the wiser. At least for the time being, but it's having a hell of a negative effect on morale. How would you like to be told at the end of your enlistment period that only "time in country" will count towards your enlistment period?
