When I was an Engineer I was single, but would see guys in my PLT and Company that were 18-22 maybe 25ish that had 2-3 kids and the wife that was a stay at home mother and many still had both working. I feel, because of what I saw back then, that many come into the military for the good pay check, medical coverage and overall benefits. But most were on some kind of social program before coming in and being a PVT to PFC with 2-4 kids didn't change the fact of needing food stamps or getting off the programs. Most take them until they are a SGT to get off them.
IMO it takes leadership to lead their soldiers and mentor them about things like this.
