    However, there is an association between family income and military service: as family income increases, the likelihood of having ever served in the military decreases. A closer examination of the relationship between family income and military service reveals that the family incomes of those who have never enlisted in the military are somewhat higher than those who have served at the low end of the distribution (56.25% higher at the 5th percentile, 42.85% higher at the 10th percentile, and 28.57% higher at the 25th percentile), are no different between the 50th and 90th percentile, and are substantially higher (140%) at the 95th percentile. Therefore, among the working class, those who have served in the military have tended to come from poorer circumstances, while there is low representation of the children of the very rich. Indeed, additional analysis (not shown here) finds that the highest income quartile was significantly less likely to have served than the lowest, while the second and third quartiles were not significantly different from the lowest quartile in their likelihood to serve. In sum, the economic elite are very unlikely to serve in the military.

      It’s international proletariat, not proletariat which I like. Listen to stories of workers in warehouses and find some compassion: absence of air conditioning, hurting backs and knees, strip searching on the exit.

      They are working in the warehouse, but getting fired and without a job is more likely to enlist them in military, if that’s your concern about imperialism, even that is shit outcome.
