I'm not such a fan of this view anymorr. Many of the people who go into the military actually believe they are going to do good things for the world but are ignorant of how much evil they will be asked to do most of the time, or like the idea of being of service but can't get into other, better forms of service because those organizations prefer those who have gone to a university or work on a volunteer basis.

This level of ignorance is not only dangerous, it's close to inexcusable in the 21st century.
