This article not only surveys the ills of Canadian military education, but also explains why these came about. It also cites the many reports on military education of the last 40 years. Most of them were ignored until the 'trauma' of Somalia jolted the Canadian Minister of Defence to order his still reluctant military staff to make the reforms. 8 Robert Vogel, 'Some Reflections on the Teaching of Military History in Canada', Canadian Military History 1/1 and 2 (Autumn 1992) pp.101–4; J.L .Granatstein, 'Canadian History Textbooks and the Wars' , ibid. 3/1 (Spring 1994) pp.123–4; and Desmond Morton, 'Studying Canadian Military History' , ibid. 2/2 (Autumn 1993) pp.137–9.

At RMC, the locally organized tours almost always went to the US Civil War battlefields, especially Gettysburg. Of those that happened, visits to Canadian battlefields seem the exception. Perhaps it is so because part of the 'colonial cringe' or a feeling that only important things can be learned from the really 'big fights of the big partners'. 12 In 1869, this question was greatly debated by the Royal Commissioner investigating British Military education. They decided that while a practical, tactical and technical military focus would remain central to professional development, room had to be made for the humanist approach. They thought it gave the greatest flexibility, fitted the British character and did not deny the Army otherwise talented people. See First Report of the Royal Commission Appointed to Inquire into the Present State of Military Education, (note 4) pp.9–20. 13 This theme is explored in detail in David Charters, Marc Milner and J. Brent Wilson (eds.), Military History and the Military Profession (Westport, CT: Praeger 1992).

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
