There are many who enlist without knowing how bad the military has become. They quickly learn and become disillusioned. At most they serve two enlistments and then get out. The real scum goes career, because for many it is social welfare. Leadership is almost exclusively greasy politician types trying to climb the ladder, especially commissioned officers. Some career NCOs are just brain damaged patriots. Reserves and National Guard are even worse. If standards and pay were raised there would be no niggers or women in the military.
