We've had members of the military in our ward, and have a current lad in Afghanistan. We also have a military base in town, but to single LDS out for not serving may be silly. IMHO, it's more of a class item than a cultural item. For most upper middle classes, the military is not the first choice, unless family traditions dictate otherwise.
