Not to answer your question for him, but I personally don't think that at all.
If everyone knew how many rejects and reprobates were admitted into the services, they'd refer to the military as "criminals on trustee duty".
Know how many folks get military service as an option when facing prison? A lot. I've met plenty of them. There may be a few patriotic kids left in the world, but the majority of folks that end up in the military are doing it for selfish reasons whether they realize it or not. It just so happens that it's a symbiotic relationship with national security. On the inside, it's just a corporation and everyone is looking to get paid.
