It's a difference in ethos. Is life for optimizing and perfection, a Taylorist treadmill turned to yourself, or is a joy, a breeze?

There's fun ways to have exercise and there's military regimentation. There's allowing imperfection and contingency in life, and there's hammering them away.

In a delicate irony, both attitudes are fully human.

Maybe fun isn’t the best way to describe it, but Military regimentation can certainly be satisfying in its own way.
