Best Answer

I was a military spouse. In my experience, Military Mentality has a lot to do with the structure. They do as they are told without question. There is no asking someone else. There is no "rights". There is no appeal process. If a superior officer says 'no', they don't appeal, don't ask a second time. However a Civilian Mentality is quite the opposite. We are taught as Americans to question authority (respectfully, of course). If we don't like the answer, get a second opinion or appeal to a higher power/court.

I know I would never be successful under the Military Mentality expectation, so I did not serve. It is difficult for many in the military to transition from one to another.
