No doubt there are many who enlisted purely for the opportunity. But you are sadly discounting the motivation of many, I suspect the vast majority, of the volunteer military.

Maybe Q., but that doesn't account for why there are virtually no "motivated" Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton students or graduates, or sons and daughters of presidents, senators and congressmen who are "volunteering." Is it that they don't feel as patriotic as those with less advantages in life? Or is that they are just as patriotic but not as needy?
