Quote by Andy Rooney

The average bright young man who is drafted hates the whole business because an army always tries to eliminate the individual differences in men.

The average bright young man who is drafted hates the whole

Summary

This quote suggests that when a young man is drafted into the army, he despises the experience because it attempts to suppress and eradicate the unique qualities and characteristics that make individuals who they are. The military, by its very nature, aims to create a sense of uniformity and cohesion among its members, which can be perceived as stifling to those who value their individuality.

Stephenson had large wrought-iron boiler plates available and he also had the courage of his calculations... The idea found its best-known expression in the Menai railway bridge opened in 1850. Stephenson's beams, which weighed 1,500 tons each, were built beside the Straits and were floated into position between the towers on rafts across a swirling tide. They were raised rather over a hundred feet up the towers by successive lifts with primitive hydraulic jacks. All this was not done without both apprehension and adventure; they were giants on the earth in those days.
