		I believe that any approach that is to succeed must address the concerns of both theoretical and practical ethics and be consistent with the practical and cultural needs and constraints of the military and the soldiers who are to be served by these changes.

		Here is every drill sergeant's goal: break a soldier's natural will, get him to understand who is in charge, and convince him that there is nothing in the world he can do to get out of it.
		The drill sergeant must make recruits understand that basic training is not the place to show natural leadership skills - it is the place to show that you know how to follow orders without question.
