Batman Beyond/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

Line 101:
*** The effed-up thing is that it ''did'' work -- after a fashion. "Sleep deprivation, endless harangues; it's classic brainwashing." It's also basic '''military training'''. Meaning that the kids who came back were obedient and unobtrusive for the foreseeable future. A decade or so down the line they'll probably beat their '''''own''''' kids into comas, [[Sarcasm Mode|but so what? They're out of their own parents' hair forever.]]
**** Erm, there's a bit more to military training than sleep deprivation and emotional abuse. The whole point of breaking down new recruits is ''building them back up again'' afterward to be better than they ever were before. But we never saw any indication that the program included anything like that. Not to mention that you can always voluntarily wash out of military training (at least in the US).
***** And, y'know, that level of military training is usually voluntarily undertaken by adults.
