Recruitment in the military is becoming more difficult. Here in the UK, you get BBC's TopGear doing "cool things" with different parts of the military. Both USUK have various motor sport racing teams to make things seem cool, but its also an attempt to boost recruitment and the bleeding obvious is criminals can now sign up and join the forces, so the bar has been lowered, but I'm sure it can be spun another way! I know there are a lot of less fortunate who took advantage of educational programs and sponsorship, like prisoners get, to further their educational qualifications, and its a cheap way to see parts of the world if you want to travel. Saving that, you do meet some odd people in the military and PTSD is a big problem. Thing is Govt's make sure the Military PR is always the best so you never hear about those who have been mentally destroyed by the military, either directly or by being related to military personnel. Everything you hear Putin or China being accused of, goes on in your country as well, the so called free press are not that free!
