Awesome. Just...awesome.
One account of the history of the (B)GLO pledge process and hazing takes it back to the military and specifically what happened when these men returned from active duty. They applied their military techniques and interrogation tactics to GLOs, which is one explanation for the "line up" method of pledging.
Therefore, it should be no surprise that the same thing happens with families. We can't socialize people to various extents and teach them military tactics but then expect them (without extensive therapy--and I know some therapy is offered/provided) to transition out of it effectively and be able to separate military from nonmilitary. Then people expect people in the military to retain things like discipline and apply it to everyday life but not apply anything else they learned. Good job with that.
