For my part, I rationalized it by deciding that I would prefer people like me to join up rather than right-wing nutjobs, and if I did, then that was one slot that a nutjob wouldn't fill.

You did realize the military will take you, and the right-wing nut jobs? So, your original rationalization was flawed. But, I think you already knew that, judging from your lack of remorse.

I’m old and don’t have much time left in this world, so I’m doing what I can to make it a better place. I’m trying to plant trees under whose shade I’ll never sit, while you’re shitting in the river that waters it. Stop shitting in the river.
