ok so whether or not is has to do with politicians or civilians is not the point.

the point is currently the military is indeed incompetent. whether from their own actions or not does not change the fact that it indeed is. and the politicians want it this way.

again i will state they want poor undereducated people who are easily controlled. thus why they do the majority of recruiting in poor rural areas.

they do indeed prefer it. because the military only prefers what the government prefers. they do not nor should not have a say. to make their own decisions is not their job. they serve the "will" of the politicians who were in turn elected to serve the "will" of the people. what they "prefer" does not exist. what they prefer is only what the politicians direct them to prefer as they see fit.
