Why is America failing in education? because we are not providing opportunities to learn we are forcing them to learn what the schools says they need which does not fit into our reality. This does not require discernment or critical thinking and it is slowly being taught out of our children.
In SF the basic 3 phases of the Q are the only things you need to know to be successful as a GB for ANY mission you do in the regiment. The sad thing is watching the GB mill here teach things in detail bypassing the experience that is needed to truly understand it.

First off thanks for posting this thread I enjoyed reading it.
Second, excuse me if this is a little off topic and I may be mistaken but could you please explain why you are inferring that history is a form of brainwashing or just a time filler? I personally find history inspiring (Alexander the Great, Spartans, Rome, feudal Japan etc.) as well as useful for providing context for what's going on in the world. It's interesting to see how world events have led up to where we are today.
I largely agree with you on the state of the United States education system but I see no need to give history a worse reputation than it already has lol.
Maybe I'm just misreading what you're saying but I'm curious as to what your thoughts are.
Thanks,
