I guess for the same reason a soldier puts his life at risk in a war. Patriotism, keep their family safe etc.

  Service-for-school, money, personal safety (army is better than homelessness), fulfilling murderous desires (see current uproar over US Navy SEAL).

  You used to be able to join the military instead of serving jail time. So not all reasons are the same.
