Minority may have been the wrong word I was trying to come up with.

How can I put this, you do not target your recruiting advertising for minuteman silo staff at CND members.. You target the qualities that would be required to launch a strike knowing everything you ever knew was about to end.

Similarly the Army needs a certain type of mindset as mentioned, the ability to live in some pretty appalling conditions sometimes and getting down to basics...kill.
Now I am not saying these people the advert is angled at do not have those qualities, but I bet a lot do not. The advert shows the character on a parade with banners such as respect each other and love each other.... which is not exactly aimed at people expected to kill is it?
