When those of us in my 1969 circle were looking for some way, any way, to flunk the Selective Service physical, I don't remember the possibility of faking homosexuality ever even coming up. Psychotic, yes, and other mental irregularities, but not gayness. I think it would have worked. Mostly, what worked were horrendous physical deformities like perforated ear drums, flat feet, orthodontia. And there was always the ever-popular high school football hero knee injury.
"...a significant amount of those stories are going to be from people who had to join the military for economic reasons."Our government actively recruits kids who age out of the foster care system.https://youth.gov/feature-a...
They should be content to stay in foster care and content with whatever life they get after that. If they wanted to have a chance to succeed they wouldn't have been in foster care in the first place.

Its'a little woody for my taste
Lindsey Graham has a history of pretty extensive military service--too lazy to look it up, though.
I think he was JAG, also too lazy to look it up.
Yeah… about that…

I think he was actually a JAGOFF, or at least he is now.
Plus a large number of troops are POC and women.
might be family tradition...nobody in my family has ever been anything above a Warrant Officer. We see junior officers as cannon fodder.
