Do you have the right stuff to be a good soldier?

Like many others, I have great respect for people who have served their countries as soldiers, with honour and distinction, both in times of war and peace.
Setting aside your age or physical fitness, do you have the personality, mental toughness and self-discipline to be a good soldier?

Do you think that your position on the broad continuum between Liberal and Conservative is related in any way to your fitness to be a good soldier?

Does your personal financial status (rich, comfortable, poor) play any role in your suitability for military service?

This is a social question but I encourage serious, on-topic answers.
