| Sukio, for a 15 year old, you show maturity beyond your years. Make good use of it and you will go far.
Over the years I too have done things I'm not proud of, but this is not the problem. The problem comes when we refuse to learn from our mistakes.
This brings us back to what is being discussed. The reason we sometimes see such "disrespect" for others shown here, is often bought about by the fact that here we do not have something that enforces "respect" in the military in cases where true respect is not deserved,... Fear!
In all honesty much of the military would collapse if it had to rely on true respect to achieve it's goals, so they have such things as the "Articles of War". (They have been superseded since my day, but no doubt there has been an equally nasty replacement).
This may sound somewhat draconian, but when all is said and done the military forces could work no other way. |
