I'd be a lot more worried about getting a .30 caliber shot than a covid shot personally. And then having to worry about healthcare for the effects of injury sustained on the job too. $30 something thousand a year (I have no idea what a private makes) isn't really going to do much to attract me either. I will say a proxy war does sound a lot more appealing than something like the Afghanistan conflict where you actually have to go and fight and all that. Did you see the WSJ-NORC survey recently? It seems that Americans have wised up that patriotism and religion don't pay the bills.
