>Nog was so invested in joining he blindly followed orders and then sperged out when he got treated as the expendable cannon fodder he signed up to be.
it really made me think about how irresponsible it is to have kids that young in Starfleet like, at the end of the day, any kind of military organization instills in you a cultlike mentality. i don't care how good or benign the organization may be, that's just the fact of the matter of how those things work. I really think like, 15-17 year olds are too impressionable to be exposed to that shit because it's too easy for exactly what happened in that episode to happen. like what did you think telling a bunch of overachieving teenager's they're gods gift and putting them into a military was gonna do? they basically made Hitler youth.
