Is it honorable by giving up on an organization that is destroying your sanity or to complete your contract with this organization that seeks to destroy the individual?

I realize this isn't worded objectively or correctly for that matter.
Is it worth giving everything you've got and being destroyed internally at the same time? Is it honorable to give up?

If this relates to finishing up a term of military service, just finish it up and think of yourself as serving the nation (which is honorable) and not just the military (which varies in honor).

Dude more specifics please. Im guessing that this "organization" is the U.S. military? If so heres what i say. Everyone has their views. You have the people who are diehard military and the others who are against the whole concept of it. And then you have all the sub divisions of those two in the middle. I dont which one you are. Heres the thing i personally both agree and disagree with you. So its safe to say im pretty much on the outside of the two groups. Im neutral. Simply because no matter what i say or anybody says no one is going to change their views about it. Thats including you. its just gonna be a bunch of people arguing their side and then nothing really changed. Their is still a military that is fighting. There are still those who are opposed to it. So back to your question, now then. The organization is really, trully not trying to destroy the individual. If you look at it from a blank perspective, it really isnt trying to do that. But its also not trying to do the very best for you. So in your case, it doesnt matter wheter i think its honorable or not. Or what anybody else thinks is honorable or not. Its you who has to decide. Do YOU think that its honorable?

A question like that can only be answered by an individual for himself, based on his inner values. To some, the sanctity of their commitment is the higher value -- whatever the price, they held true to their word, and they find honor in that. To others, when they find that their commitment is in conflict with a belief or value they hold more dear, they find honor in protecting that belief or value, even if it means reneging on their commitment.
Either choice can be the honorable alternative for that individual. What outsiders might consider honorable must be ignored. If you make the choice based on what others will think, neither choice is honorable.

You made your bed now sleep in it.
Those who back out, who volunteered first are cowards.
It goes back to the old saying if not you, who?
If you back out then your battle buddy will take it.
When you signed on the dotted line you were saying I am willing to defend this country and that if that means giving my life or being wounded (physically or emotionally) so be it.
When the sh#$ hits the fan it is hard. You volunteered though.
You think you had it tough, guys were deployed to combat for the entire WWII conflict. A fact that my grandfather reminds me of when I start to Bi$%^ch and whine about another upcoming deployment.

If you are in the service, you need to finish out your term even if you may not agree with everything that they do. If you are having stress or depression problems please talk to your commanding officer and seek help. Dont give up.

You get what you put into it. If you want it all handed to you then your hands will always be empty.
