"Don't jump off a cliff just because everyone else is doing it" basically
I guess the next logical exercise would be asking them to do something with instructions that are complete, but incorrect or at least inefficient, to teach the lesson of questioning superior orders rather than just peers. Actually, I'm honestly not sure it that's desired in military discipline or not (no direct experience here)
I drove a forklift one summer for a manufacturing plant.
I had a supervisor tell me to do something that was clearly not right and I refused. I came in the next day and they tried to write me up and I refused to sign the paperwork for it.
The one thing no one could accurately describe is why the supervisor was right.
I agree with the idea of being willing to go against authority but disagree that it's always a good career move :)
Of course it was easier for me, it was just a summer job, I was going back to Uni in the fall.

The usual goal of anything in military training, being cruel to new recruits?
