Most men, for significant parts of history, weew explicitly excluded from joining the army (e.g. Roman armies were only "staffed" by citizens). Where are you getting the idea that most men had to fight at home? Do you have any relevant sources for this?
> The vast majority of men aren't attracted to promiscuous women looking for the next meal ticket.
Ew. I generally prefer not to pass judgement, but this is an unpleasant turn of phrase in the exposition of your idea.
> No amount of reasoning changes dynamics that have existed for millions of years
Anatomically modern humans have only been around for ~300k years, civilisation ~5k. What millions of years of dynamics are you talking about exactly?
Examples of reasoning changing dynamics that have "existed for millions of years:"
- Money
- Democracy
- Contracts
- etc.
> what sex workers and their clientele resemble
What do they resemble to you? Is this a modern conception or one that has existed for millions of years?

The Tartship Strippers quote "service guarantees citizenship" had real antecedents, and is even now a benefit of military service in the US.
