You can cancel dwarves breaks by drafting them into the military and then immediately releasing them. This causes an unhappy thought if the dwarf has no military skills at novice or better. Some players consider this an exploit, while others think it is balanced by the unhappy thought. If all your dwarves have dabbling in even a single military skill, however, there will be no unhappy thought. You could rationalize this as having "military culture" at your fort if you wanted though.
