I think there's an argument to be made for the networking benefits of government and military jobs. Having the experience and connections they bring may open doors that purely commercial employment does not.

A lot of people cut their teeth in government defense jobs and jump to a contractor position doing basically the same thing for double the salary.

I know there are non-corrupt cases of this, but it does seem like a close neighbor to things like regulatory capture, etc...

I think it is a neighbor, as you said, and I’d go so far as to say that this is transparently a goal of this program.

A goal to get people into government service? Yes. A goal to enable regulatory capture? Definitely not.
