a boy who has no strong males in his life is perhaps dominated by horrible leftists and needs the masculine influence.
that's why they lash out and pretend to be men in a way that is actually not manly at all : violence.
when they are around service men, men with a purpose, who aren'tbuying into the liberal lie, then they suddenly can realize 'gosh, I could be a service man like he is.'
it's a good way to recruit for future service members and also it's a way to have a mission to the boys so that they can be saved from the depravity of the liberal ideology.
