Today's military does need the resources to work on drafting high quality, computer literate people for many of the changing military jobs, such as having drones and robots carrying out the attacks on a battlefield, or developing many other methods for taking control. It should no longer be the old "prison or military service" sentence that was once given in courtrooms.  We are well beyond riding horses into battle.  Think "out of the box".
There are always charities in the U.S. collecting food for "starving" obese people in the U.S., yet when one person pays for food at the grocery store, another gets the same food for free using stamps, SNAP cards (What's the next name for food welfare? The Oby Card?) I have yet to see a "starving" person in the U.S., since that condition is not so prevalent.
