Is this because they have some sort of patriotic feeling? No other job available? Like the idea of adventure & what the Hell? We only live once!

I think it's a bit of everything Less, I still work with the Military & you talk with the "Kids", some because it seems like an adventure, others because they feel the have no other options & yes there are still one or two Patriotic souls who want to defend the British way of life, for what that's worth nowadays.
The worst thing about it all though is I feel like their Dad/Uncle, I would never tell them to stay away from the Forces I would actively encourage some of these kids to give it a go. I do think it will make them better people, but also sadly in these present times possibly crippled, maimed or just a memory of a loved one taken far to early from life.
