    I am not a fan of the military either but agreed, the military is a reliable vehicle for upward mobility for many marginalized/disadvantaged groups. If the choice is between living in poverty forever or signing your soul away for 4 years in exchange for a college education you’d never afford otherwise, I can’t fault people for taking the only opportunity they are offered.

    I’d rather there be better options for people in these situations, but something is at least better than nothing.
