The military is a place for people to find a job that can't find work in the regular job market.
Where the fuck did you come with this bullshit? Once again, you fabricate garbage out of thin air.
lol...
Oh... this is why.
Studies tackle who joins the military and why, but their findings aren’t what many assume

There are some stereotypes about who serves and why, but the research doesn't support them.

“Liberal Americans are more likely to believe that service members join primarily for economic reasons. Those furthest to the left are more inclined to aver that service members join chiefly to escape desperate circumstances.”
Here's the truth
“We show that recent recruits tend to have higher than average socioeconomic background: they disproportionally come from the middle of the family income, family wealth, and cognitive skill distributions, with both tails under-represented,” they found. “We also show that higher scores in cognitive skill tests increase the probability of joining the military for lower- and middle-class individuals, but decrease the enlistment likelihood of young men and women coming from the right tail of the income distribution” ― meaning that more affluent prospects tended to pick another path.
