I'm just saying that there isn't a safety net that provides a better alternative, such a high-school dropout without a supporting family becoming homeless does even less for their core traumas than being told what to do in the army; whatever the drawbacks are, for many this is legitimately the least worst option that's available to them.

Perhaps. That's what brought my main point of the feeling being "entrapment" (i don't know the exact term for this sort of phenomenon). Hey, did our system utterly fail you? Submit yourself to us and we'll fix the problem we continue to propogate! You don't even need to complete the educational system we outlined anymore, just be a warm body to throw at future battles for oil. There's less incentive to provide proper housing when you can instead put your citizens in barracks.
