I think me and a couple of others were pretty open in that thread that it wasn't the answer and he'd fail.
There are other better reasons to join the military. Running away from yourself isn't a good one, because yourself always catches up under scrutiny.
The French Foreign Legion was infamous for taking people running away from love, crime, anger and other things, but they still had a hard filter, and their training was designed to separate your past from the person that they wanted you to be, but if you couldn't hack it or were damaged, you spend about a year painting rocks and then they sent you home.
