It makes perfect sense. They prey on poor people to fill out that “voluntary” recruitment. When you’ve been poor all your life and suddenly you get that signing bonus no matter how responsible you are there’s no way you’re not going to buy something at least a little fun for yourself. You’ve likely had a shitty car all your life if you had one at all. You put all that together and it’s really easy to see why so many of them do it.
I always find it funny when people think these stereotypical behaviors of young military dudes are… just rude stereotypes.
Some of them, sure, but a lot of them, nope, generally actually true, sorry buddies, capitalism figured out another way to exploit your poverty and lack of education, with mathematical precision, and you fell for it, again.
