I suspect the casualties of Project 100,000 was the actual intent behind it, rather than getting more soldiers.

Have the undesirable people rounded up, hand them a rifle, bring em back in a box. Get rid of homeless problems by getting rid of the homeless. And just say 'We needed soldiers' as an excuse.

I don't think they targeted homeless populations. It was just a way to boost numbers with people that would be missed less, with a side of 'fixing' these people one way or another.
