I agree with you to a certain extend but i believe one has to be rational. Because think about it we are Civilans and at the age of 28 you dont develop the abilities like Army which intake you at the age of 18 or so. And yeah Country comes first but family is not the least thing either. Well its everyones way of thinking. But i was reading on Secert Agencies working of other countires since we dont have one of our own? not atleast in my Knowledge if you know one please give the URL, they mentioned that one can quit whenever they want they can travel freely, No doubt they do stay under observation which i dont mind either because people working for such sensitive jobs need to be observed for Country's protection well the only thing i read was like "after taking retirement you cannot do job on your own the Agecny will get you the job which will be well paid and Security cleared". But i have a freind whose elder brother used to work for CANNOP his life became miserable he couldnt travel, he couldnt for that matter move out of City. Cant have much social life and all. I beleive one has to be clear and there should be some guidence there for the Above mentioned job.
