Of learning military skills

 When I was a child, I was a girl, so I watched military things more from a comfortable distance, more from the point of view of society's civiliced wisdom and of life skills all ought to learn as young, more from the point of view of what was the goal in wars and in having an army, and from the point of view that things should go well in practice instead of large failures dominating. So my basic point of view was that murders are a different thing from fighting in a war. Soldiers' skills ought to be based on ordinary life skills that are good for lufe, lije sports for example and a good understanding, high values and wisdom of life keeping things well, making people work together for a world that is good for life. 

So for killing shooting, sword, etc would work out well. Instead of mixing it with the goal of causing any destruction possible, which maybe originates from the engineering oriented having tried engineering's ways to other areas of lufe, instead of school education's wide view which is intended to suit all professiobs and be good for life. 

So for soldier like skills one ought not aim at making the lives of others worse, for example oppose healing skills and influence things toward worse ways of living, poorer values, not-at-all wise type of social contacts, etc. Such goals are a thibg an army ought to oppose, also if it isn't war time. 

So often one ought not let boys etc think these things through alone with other boys etc, but instead the society should have wise views in these subjects, available also for the girls and women to talk about. One must remember that many boys and men think that one cannot take several perspectives into account at the same time, for example school's civiliced view and army skills. Likewise thry maybe do not understand or do not try to take fairly into account several types of persons' or of cultures' views, values, skills, situatilns, etc, but instead jydt claim doing so and somehow wander from discussion point to another without keeping a fair picture of the whole as a goal.
