"So military people are stupid now?"

Amos didn't say that and I don't think Amos meant that. From my experience in the army, the military has a culture of its own, and it's not a democracy, for one thing. (No more than a corporation is a democracy.) This culture affects their viewpoint; why wouldn't it?

Army culture is very like the culture of a univerity, which is pretty insular too, though not as overtly autocratic.The army has Officers and Men, the University has Faculty and Staff. This culture affects their viewpoint; why wouldn't it?

The military solve things by force; universities have seminars and workshops. Force doesn't always work and seminars don't always work.

There are still some counter-culturists around, but love doesn't always work either. It's worth trying, though.

And so on.

None of them necessarily have a balanced view of the world, nor do any of us. Some do better than others; I think that 'enlightenment' is the ability to think outside your culture.
