"I don't have the money so I'm going to help murder innocent schoolchildren in a country we want to loot" is a shitty excuse.
Some guy robbing a house and shooting the inhabitants is exactly the same, only not legalized by the fascist regime.
It's more that their options are severely limited, and the military offers a paying job that could lead to a career, or at least pay for college, which could lead to a career. Getting the Hell out of bad living situation, either a terrible home town, or a rough family situation, is another good reason. Foster kids age out of the system at 18, and often go homeless. The military looks like a positive viable option from that perspective.
There are a LOT of reasons that people join the military, and VERY few join the military to kill.
Repeating the same mental gymnastics, as if these scumbags don't know what that terrorist army does constantly.
Those frequently heard apologetics are disgusting. They are vulgar hired murderers in a uniform.
I'm sure lots of Mongols were perfectly decent people who weren't afforded the right opportunities, too.
