mm if i ever pass out as a commander having men under me, i vow that i will try my best not to create the atmosphere of stress and fear that is the key source of army sianness. tough training is a must... ok that one i can accept. but the regimentation can be done away with. the constant threats, the punishments... ugh. using fear to instigate action is such a shallow form of efficiency. the dissatisfaction, low morale, resentment... such a large tradeoff for short-term efficiency. i guess for a period of only 2 months, it is logical to a certain extent to use such crude methods to get things done. but then again...
"Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you're producing here" -Scent of a Woman. watched it ytd again... absolutely fantastic. but back to track...
what kind of a leader is such methods gonna build? advocating a culture of regimentation, resulting in a tradition of resentment towards ns... was talking to averill one day. chatted about the culture of the commandos... the blood-brother bonding, the atmosphere of excellence... i admit that was what i hoped army would be like. idealistic perhaps, but quite evidently, not impossible.
ahhh getting closer to the ideal form~ but still some distance to travel la. refinement. but haiz always caught between the pros and cons of the path of chionging and the path of slacking. but the thing abt slacking is i still can choose to exercise! even if =( i am only deluding myself that i'll have the willpower to continue refining the ideal form.
