Basic training in the American army doesnt really do much either from what im told. basic training is more or less indoctrination and brainwashing moreso than making you a battle ready soldier
i genuinely dont like reading about how ukraine is going to lose/win, how great/awful russia is doing, it’s depressing.
This is pretty much correct. You really don’t get actual training to be a soldier until you join up with a combat unit. So like a mechanized, light infantry, or airborne unit.

Being able to fold your underwear into a perfect 4-inch square and align the backs of your shoes to your bedposts are valid life skills!
If you can fold underwear you can fold the American flag. What more is there?
