The army, draftees, and social classes The Army, like any other totalitarian institution, submits new recruits to a double indoctrination by the use of techniques designed to cut them off from the everyday world and by the use of rituals intended to form a disciplined behaviour. In spite of the apparently equalitarian character of the Army, these domesticatiing forces are exercised mainly upon the members of the less affluent classes. This can be seen in the disproportionate recruitment amongst social classes, in the differences in duty stations, and in the division by high and low ranking officers of the various tasks of dominating and forming new draftees. By inculcating a sense of order and by preparing, at the same time, the dominated social classes for their role of obedience, the military establishment contributes to the perpetuation of this System of domination and, thus, the existing social order.
