gollark: Don't modern militaries mostly require specialists *anyway*?
gollark: Do you know what "arbitrary" means?
gollark: Sense of community: any team activity ever.Making friends: any team activity ever.Educating people: school, somewhat.Discipline: don't know, probably can be figured out.
gollark: You can do those WITHOUT forcing people to spend time in the military, via optional things?
gollark: As vaguely bad as school is, I prefer it over an environment where you are expected to blindly follow orders, have no privacy/free time/etc, and do physical activity lots.
