    It's because they want prospective recruits to self-select.

    They want to be sure that everyone who joins them knows exactly what they'll be doing.

    Getting involved in US diplomacy has a similar reading list. They only want evil fuckers to join. They don't want naive optimists who think they'll be doing anything helpful.
