That's an analysis of a sad condition that sounds scarily correct. As a late 60s radical (anti-war and draft counseling mostly), I recall there was a document from ?? (U. of Michigan, not sure) about "channeling." Of course I just found it -- it was a Selective Service document. I probably only saw excerpts but it incensed the draft resistance world. The "important" college students who will serve industry will be protected from the draft. So what you're describing was already in the works.
When profit becomes the paramount value militarism appears attractive in order to protect the plunder. And when profit and militarism rule fascism finds its opportunity.
I do have to say, when I found out about many of things you mention, even I was a bit surprised. The good news is it can be fixed, once the collective will is there.

We can't give up. This is one we can't afford to lose.
