  • Men make up ~80% of the military in the US. Already we are off to a bad start if you think the military is a ‘general slice’.

    Using the military as your source comes with a whole lot of biases. Military enrolment is not mandatory in the US, so your numbers are already skewed by factors of wealth, ‘patriotism’, and gender.

    You can assume that people who are not open to the possibility of killing a human being are filtered from their ranks by default. And then being exposed to the life of a soldier (especially in a war zone) can skew the way that a person interacts with their world.
