How does the military take teenage wild men and turn them into soldiers?
Think about the first part of the question - "teenage wild men". You might have missed that as you were picturing clean shaven, in shape, soldiers marching in unison. Those who have never seen the "before" shots of new soldiers often have the misperception that the majority of soldiers were disciplined high school students who did what they were told. Those of you who know who makes up our armed forces are likely laughing.
Most soldiers were not college bound. Most were not particularly good students. Most got in some trouble because most had a lot of energy!
The military has methods that channel that energy.
Its not just discipline. Its inspiration. For country. For the Army (or Navy/Marines). For brotherhood.
Inspiration is the answer.
