So any person who wants to become a soldier is just a fool.

Or they're desperate. I can't speak for other countries, but in the U.S., if you grow up in poverty, the military is one of the only ways out. Especially if you don't have the academics or athletic talent to earn a really good scholarship.

It sucks.
