Nope. I'm not in their target demographic.

But you still know about it then, eh? Ever seen recruiters working the streets? I have and its actually really interesting and worthwhile to watch.

Though, I'm not sure my statement is that controversial. Its pretty well known that the US military draws a large majority of their recruits from the lower income brackets, which happen to be populated by people who are "down and out due to high unemployment and poor social standards".

And then they provide them with a sense of dicipline and education, then when they leave the military, most will have something to make of their life? US Special Forces medics have the same training as a civilian doctor, only without the certificate. Say what you will about how they are used, to me the training they recieve is amazing.
And they are not forced either.

Looks like there are some similarities between the two cultures; they both use their downtrodden to do their fighting for them. Not many Senator's sons on either side.

Good point. Maybe the US should get a draft then, so that the Senator's sons have to serve. Then they wouldn't be using the downtrodden to fight for them.
