Speaking as someone who wears the uniform I can tell you that I've seen alot of young people come into the organization that I would have avoided on the streets, and after their indoctrination (I dont really like that word for the negative connotation it has (sounds like we're making robot zombies or something), but it most accuratly describes the process) they emerge as motivated people with direction. It's not for everyone and you have to be ready to change yourself.

Lot of people don't get this but if the person doesn't want to change then the program won't work. I guess its alot like AA, unless you want to stop drinking, AA isn't going to help you.

Not being a class struggle bigot or anything, but I tell a lot of well off families that their sons who have lived privileged, elite lives would really benefit from being in the military, getting up close and personal with lower classes, seeing past peoples superficial appearances. That their good education would help the military and that years later they would look back at their service as one of the best parts of their lives.

Unfortunately, I usually get blank, are you crazy look.
