If serious I'd say 90% of the military. Take the skilled tradesman as the techs and the infantry as the line workers. Generally good, disciplined people and running a factory would bring production instead of destruction of Afghanistan or whatever other ideas used by the higher ups to abuse people that just wanted to defend our country.

It becomes too easy for false reports to be sent up the chain, and for bad instructions to be sent down the chain.)
