Some people enjoy exactly that. Some people think that they're gonna get into the "cool" parts of the military. Want to fly fighter jets? How else you think you're gonna get to do that? Want to get into super-cool intelligence? What other avenues are there? Want to travel around the world on a submarine? Want to get a steady, decent paying job with retirement and health benefits with a GED or less?
yeah, some people get in because they're stupid or bloodthirsty. But to say that's the only reason is shortsighted and, well, ridiculous.
