A career in the military (and, to a lesser extent, shorter stints) is in several ways a route to access European-like social services.

- Guaranteed housing—including for your spouse and kids.

- Healthcare for same.

- Free college education.

The pay sucks, but the benefits are pretty damn good. I do think universal healthcare and free public university would take a big bite out of military recruitment rates.
