You have a very good moral compass for perceived injustice. But theres nothing wrong with someone in the militairy doing push ups. There IS something wrong with questioning authority because you can see campuflaged soldiers, which was probaly the training other recruits were supposed to be doing but some smartass with good colorblind eyes ruined it for them.
- hnbad 4y agoTechnically, soldiers absolutely are (legally) required to question authority in some cases (e.g. if they think an order is immoral, like participating in a genocide or murdering civilians or torture). In practice it provides more utility to stomp out any desire to challenge or question authority though because if a soldier spends time critically thinking about an order they're given, that's time they're not spending being highly alert or implementing that order.
