Anecdotally speaking, everybody I know that has joined the army has done it because they couldn't see another path forward.
If you're pro-military, that's good for you! I just don't subscribe to the same idea that our military is something we should cherish and be thankful for.
You didn't answer my question(s);
Do you think people join the services as pilots due to being an incompetent loser and due to a lack of career options outside of the services?
Do you think people join the services as Engineers as due to being an incompetent loser and due to a lack of career options outside of the services?
Do you think people join the services to become vessel watchkeepers or vessel navigators due to being an incompetent loser and due to a lack of career options outside of the services?
Do you think people join the services as Tradesman due to being an incompetent loser and due to a lack of career options outside of the services?
Do you think people join the services as a Doctor due to being an incompetent loser and due to a lack of career options outside of the services?
