Best Answer

It depends which armed forces you're talking about. It would be different between dictatorships to democracy and all the other forms of government. A few reasons I could suggest is:

- Patriotism

- Fear

- Money/jobs

- War simulation games (like Call of Duty)

- Prejudices

- Religious beliefs

- Political motives

In a lot of cases, it's simply the money a government will put into recruitment. People get brainwashed by ads depicting the army as a summer camp and the more ads = the more brainwashing.

Should armed forces be allowed to recruit in public schools?

Yes, armed forces should be allowed to recruit in public schools because the government funds these schools and has the right to recruit in them. There is no harm in recruiting in public schools because there is so much about the armed forces not known by kids, and this is a great education opportunity to learn about the life and job of the armed forces.

Can you Join Turkish Army when you are not Turkish you are from Pakistan?

You can not join Turkish Army if you are not a citizen of Republic of Turkey. If you are a male Turkish citizen, you are subject to draft, regardless of your ethnic origins. So you will join the armed forces, anyway. Things get a little complicated if you want to be an officer in Turkish armed forces, but you are not an ethnic Turk. The armed forced intelligence does a extensive background check to allow you in. I have not heard a single case like that. However Pakistani nationals are trained Turkish armed forces academies, if they are sent there by Pakistani armed forces.
