^implying that patriotism and propaganda and a lack of university opportunities do not have an influence on that decision.

Obviously that never enters into the equation.  And its certainly not true that demographically a much larger perecentage of those with low incomes join the military than those with higher incomes.

The poor have fought rich people's wars since the beginning of civilization.  If anyone really thinks it is different now, they are fooling themselves.

It's one of the only places a totally unskilled worker can earn an income AND get the training needed to perform there duties.

I was born poor, worked my way though collage, and never had to join the military to do it. If you chose to, great, but saying it's the only option is misleading at best.
