The bottom line is they want a portion of your mind and your support of their agenda. Those are two things I'm unwilling to give.

The military needs bodies too. We no longer live in a safe world of peace and detente. We live in a world where there is a much higher fatality risk with enlisting.

So what does the military do? They target minorities with financial hardship and now need to target women too. They need to be more 'diverse' and open minded to meet recruiting goals. It's not really ethical, exploiting people who are disadvantaged, but it's life and has gone on for thousands of years.

Sadly, there's *always* an ulterior motive. No one does anything purely for the 'right' reason. Everyone has a different version of 'right' and so their own self-interest is going to get stirred into the pot in some measure.
