No, they’re stupid. Your appeal to patriotism is cute, but doesn’t work on me. Having 1 or 2 kids and risking it all to provide them a better life at increased risk is decidedly different than having 7. It’s irresponsible cult behavior.

And the military is full of insanely stupid people. There are several tests that preclude intelligent, and educated people from being grunts, which is incredibly unethical in itself. The military outright says this. But you can’t make having children an offset for conflict because then everyone would have a kid just to skip combat. College is harder than having a kid.

Again, that many children is a fucking cult.
