Because a Lawyer or Doctor is an Individual with individual, personal responsibility.
A Soldier is not an Individual. A Soldier is part of the "Big Green" and is moulded/restrained by some pretty serious brainwashing.
Been there, done that.
In my experience - attending Basic Training with Gangbangers 20 years ago - 80+% of the ganbangers will NOT take their training back to the 'hood with them. They fnd out what it means to be part of the Biggest Gang of them All, and tend to not quit. The Money may not be as good,but your subordinates aren't as likely to shoot you either./
Many, many, MANY "criminals" have been turned around by a solid dose of Military Dicipline and the Self Respect it engenders.
Frankly, I'd rather have a Crip backing me up than a pantywaist Liberal trying to score a free education...
