Phyllis Bennis is a Melissa Harris-Perry fave. How bonkers-left is Bennis? She's a defender of Iran and its nuclear ambitions, and wants Israel wiped off the map, to be replaced by a single Palestinian state.

“forced in by poverty”??

There has not been a military draft, in a biblical generation.
The idea does not wash.
