The military mind

So people TEND to be malleable, but you have to catch them at an early enough age.  Not everybody can be molded into receptivitity to certain formats, even then, but some, I presume would be more open or susceptible to it than others, depending on genetic make-up.



I actually don't see how a military state of mind could be reduced to gender.  In my view, it involves being able to take in life in much greater extremes without reacting to the provocations of what one is taking in.   If one's own reactions and emotions are not attended to directly, but one learns to accommodate them and resolve them on one's own, that is already a large way toward the development of a military mind.



I really don' t see how this fundamental feature can be reduced down to a question of masculinity or femininity.  You might think so -- but I am of the view that those gender identifications tend to occur much later in life, long after the military mind has a chance, or loses its chance, to develop.
