Nice idea, but it won't work. The closer you get to the E-ring, the less you're a soldier and the more you're a politician. Case in point par excellence, Colin ordure-upon-his-progeny-to-the-nth-generation Powell.

If push comes to a really ugly shove, I'd expect about 95% of enlisted personnel and NCOs to fight for their country, along with about 80% of the lieutenants and captains. For light colonels, 60%; full birds, 40%; and anything with stars on its shoulders, 20% and dropping, as they get farther from their roots and closer to their dream-come-true of absolute personal power.
