How do we encourage new troops to embrace a 'sense of duty'?

Sir,

I do still fall back to the problem mainly being part of the current "me" generation and even the 1 just before them, allow me to elaborate, sometime during the late 80s/early 90s the changes started coming about from the PC and legal changes, parents were starting to get in trouble for disciplining their children because the establishment claimed it was child abuse for any type of punishment, parents were having the police called on them for taking away their children's video games, toys, etc., this led to more issues, so parents became afraid to punish or even correct their children when they were doing something wrong. Then the next problem was started by the Clinton administration and their "leave no child behind" program, students who otherwise would fail because of lack of effort or unable to accomplish proper learning skills, started receiving passing grades for substandard work and becoming entitled, then you toss in the concept of everyone getting a trophy for being on the team whether they participated or not, no one being cut because it would damage their psyche, teams not counting scores, etc., etc.

It is and was this increasing PC mentality that started the issue that have escalated over the past 2 decades that have made it a problem and have worsened the issues to where we are seeing the mentality in the Soldiers that have been recruited or have come in over the past decade +, it won't change over night, but we need to get the politicians out of the military atmosphere and allow the leaders to go back to what worked for generations prior to the PC mentality. The military has been forced to remove many traditions and systems that were working and not physically or mentally damaging SMs when utilized. When they came out with "stress cards", removing certain exercises from corrective training, continually reducing the amounts of repetitions from corrective training (currently no more than 5 allowed), etc., etc., we have been downplayed by our own politicians and made soft, which is not what you desire from a defender of your nation against the non-soft enemies of the world.

The only way to change it and restore a sense of duty is to be able to re-instill it via enforcing standards and implementing traditional ways of teaching, training, disciplining, etc., without PC interruption or disruption.
