No, it appears that they have already planned their successes for the next 20 years after high school.
No plan survives contact with the enemy. Or the real world.
It amazes me that kids who have done nothing yet in life other than get out of bed and shuffle to school for a few hours each day think that they can just want to join an elite unit, and we have to take them. Probably exacerbated by a society that makes victimization and entitlement a lifestyle, and discourages honest feedback and acceptance of personal responsibility.
Arrogance and stupidity are a dangerous combination.
