I suppose the sort of rote memorization and spitback of instructional

Again you are just demonstrating your ignorance. If anything the
military training is more practical than what you get in a university
that stuffs your head with things you forget by the next semester and
never use again.
When the ship is sinking or under attack from a guy who wants to kill
you, creativity and the ability to use the information you got in
school is a matter of life or death for everyone on board.
It is not like some art history class you took to fill out your
transcript.
I wonder why being universally taught how to think abstractly or
learning well established "critical thinking" skills in universities is
any different than what military schools offer.
If you haven't attended one, I guess you wouldn't know.
I'm just spitting back here what I've observed over the years from such
well-trained thinkers as Herring, Robbins, and your junior high buddy in
Florida.
