The majority have ruled out the military either from a lack of desire to get shot at or an assumption they can't get a waiver. And most of them probably can't get a waiver anyway.
It's sad, some of them, the ones who are really trying, would do well there. But put back in their same neighborhoods they end up back with the same rotating set of people in and out of trouble. It's an extra tangle to the issue.
