It is crazy, but it's not one thing that makes them go.
It's a whole culture that strips people of any real freedom of expression, yet tells them that if they're not good enough at following orders they'll be eternally punished. They live under a rule of thumb, and although some never become extreme, if your entire life your told by your closest family and peers you might not be good enough. And then the country your in tells you you're probably free leading rapist scum. And then a man your age offers you untold riches and dreams if you die fighting. Some will trot off.
