In which branch of the military did you serve?
“...the school didn’t want anyone to be different than anyone else.”
Neither does the military. You take the same training, eat the same chow at the same time, dress in the same uniform, obey the same UCMJ and do as you are told, when you are told to do it. If you are different there are consequences.
Later on, individuality is allowed back in as specialized training fits one for the various job requirements. But kids who have been through that sameness adjust to military life more readily than those who have not.
I have not addressed the attitude towards military service spread by liberal “educators”, which will remove the concept of serving from many young people’s thinking.
Am I stupid? Maybe, but are you showing a tad of ignorance?
US Army....11B1P....
The military takes young men and molds them to be warfighters, who follow orders, eventually lead men and be able to think on their feet to solve a problem. Who will give selflessly to protect the man to his left and right.
What is happening in the schools is indoctrination to be mindless, without thought, zombies that only know that there is a central authority figure that gives them what they need, what they want and what is given to them is forcibly taken from those that have the ability to provide it. Thus raising generations of whiny, pussies that are some of the most selfish humans on the planet.
Kind of like the old adage..
From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
There’s a YUGE difference.
