Although I can't tell from personal experience, I doubt that anything you pay that much money for you would have people be major dicks to you.

With the amount of money in .mil budget, I am sure that finding some half-assed psych bachelor grads to at least do something would be potentially useful, or at least to deployments statistically more stressful.

The most expensive part of the DoD budget is personnel costs.

Well, where that opinion that if the training it techically free for trainee (in military) then the trainer has all rights to hazing him/her came from? And moreover, that military training isn't really free - those restrictions trainee endures and time s/he spend in military prevent him/her from achieving all other possible goals in his/her life, most of them - for good. If one spends both time and money, s/he clearly anticipates these amounts and how to make the benefits from them. If one spends just time, it is quite hard to evaluate the real cost properly.

^ You have some fucked up ideas of the U.S. military. Quit trying to associate it to the Soviet or Russian militaries. Total different organizations and cultures.

Spoiler alert: it's 2019, not 1968. There is no hazing or bullying. You might argue there was "bullying" "back in the day," but really, for the most part is was just yelling and was used as a motivator (though I'd argue it's a poor one). But again, that's not really a thing anymore.

Well, being a service academy grad, in and of itself, ought to confer some mark of legitimacy, even though people's personalities and certain stereotypes seem to be otherwise.

(not a service academy grad)
