      The military lies and exploits poverty to coerce people. The federation is a post-scarcity society so people join because they want to. Also, the purpose of Starfleet is mostly exploration (with some exceptions).

      Star fleet is essentially a military organization, so that makes sense. I know they do a lot of other non-militaristic stuff, but when war happens they are the ones fighting it.
