Just read a report at
http://www4.nas.edu/news.nsf/isbn/0309085314?OpenDocument
It doesn't specfically address this topic, but it does state the following:
"In addition, fewer young people list 'doing something for my country' as an important occupational objective. Because youth who value making a contribution to their country are more likely to join the military, the committee pointed out that promoting such patriotic ideals in young people will expand the pool of likely recruits."
(emphasis mine).
