The Rob Henderson piece also has some potentially disastrous implications for your view, which I share, that we should no longer encourage boys to go into the US military:

“People ask how the military helped me. And the usual answers definitely apply here. Leadership, discipline, camaraderie, structure, all those things helped me to shed my bad habits.

But there’s something I never hear anyone else talk about when they discuss the benefits of the military: time. In a very real way, the military basically allowed me to mature while not allowing me to do something self-destructive.”
