RE: Other insidious forces besides "hero worship" are in play here.

First? I'm glad you aren't in charge of the military.

Next? Military is NOT the 'employer of last resort'. Last time I looked, about 1/6th (actually a little less) of the population would NOT be enlisted due to not being 'smart' enough. the limit is around IQ 83 or so......
Modern war requires some smarts, ability to think on your feet as well as the willingness to follow orders.

Finally? GI Bill accumulates funds or the ability to access funds to Further your education. Like College. Current trend might be to 'write off' huge amounts of willingly obligated debt, but at a soldier PRE EARNS this ability. And If you go into the military WITH a degree and qualify? You can get further educaiton in things you and I wouldn't ordinarily associate WITH military activities.

And lest you think they are all 'future' (pick your party), my experience has been that those I know are a wide cross section of beliefes (politically)

If I were being mean, I might note without proof, that for every nationalist Bigot in the military is an ANTI-Nationalist Bigot teaching college... But I can't support THAT any more than you can your origianl statement.
Too much is never enough
