The military is a jobs program.
Maybe, but its a badass lethal jobs program. As for the demographics issue, I can only speak from my own experience. My parents were middle class from the West coast.
I was big on intellect and short on maturity and responsibility, so the military was a better option for me than college.
I met my share of dumbasses and geniuses from all parts of the country, all races colors and creeds. We all got along pretty well for the most part, though I did see some bigotry, favoritism, nepotism and jingoism. The military to me seemed to be a microcosm of American society. For better or for worse, we made it work because it is never about the individual, mission comes first and frick what "you" don't like.
