You can do what you want, just don't get caught.

The "army style" mantra is irresponsible, the phrase repeated by instructors who did not set stand firm on the rules.

 

Ditto for everyday life. Much crime and other dismeanor were committed without being found out. Does not make them right.

 

I hope we dont go down this path of speeding or irresponsible drink-driving "as long as we dont get caught"
