        I'm certain that's true. But at the same time, there must be
someone willing to teach them how to be soldiers instead of brawlers, how
to be members of a team with a common purpose rather than individuals
each with their own goals. Otherwise, they aren't a military unit.
They're only a well-armed mob.
        I think I can safely say that there were plenty of teachers who
never saw the inside of a school either. I don't think it always has any
connection with your job description.
