You'd be surprised how many former thugs have joined the military. I had a friend in the military that had the option to go to jail or join the military and he joined the military.Zarxrax wrote:My point is that, while the military may well be full of criminals, a typical thug would rather keep selling crack to whores on the street, rather than join up with something where they have to follow a lot of rules, get yelled at, and do whatever they are told.godix wrote:Many people who join the military are from the lower class. The lower class produces most of the criminals, at least the violent ones. It's not unreasonable to suspect the group of violent criminals and the group interested in the military, which is all about blowing shit up and killing people, cross over.
It's the people who see road blocks or start disliking the road they are taking who want an easy way out. There are quite a few x gang members who join the military to get out of the mess they are in.
Then there are also people who join the military for an excuse to kill.
So yeah, godix does have a point
