sometimes i just don't get it

This is just bizarre to me. I'm not even sure what to think/say on the issue, not to mention the story (or should I just call it as it is, the advertisement) is lacking in details.
Why is the US Military recruiting people from a country that has been in a civil war for over 20 years? Why would Ugandans, who have been fighting rebel groups and suffering heavily from this war, want to travel to the US to get picked up by another government's military to fight more? Maybe this is the ultimate bleeding heart response, but can't we invest this amount of time, energy, and money in peace? Or is that just too much to hope for?
