Does the quantity and quality of training play a role?
I don't just mean telling recruits to behave well over and over, although maybe that helps, too.
I suspect that training in general makes people behave a little better. If you are proud of your abilities, in your element, and confident that you are in control, I would like to think that results in a better outcome.
- digsy 6y agoMy experience of the non-US military is that soldiers have a lot more accountability. You are told the rules, standards are high and you are held accountable by your peers and superiors. Infractions are punished and squads are self-policing as you can be punished if one of your squad is caught breaking the rules. IE people are always looking over your shoulder and you are looking over theirs. And the US military seems very similar. Yes mistakes are made and crimes are committed but overall standards are high. Most cops I see in the US operate on their own (so no squad policing) and standards dont seem to be very high compared to non-US cops I know.
