I guess I was assuming (based on my model of lsusr)that the intent of that paragraph was to talk about taking on more risk and responsibility. But, reading it back I think you’re right about how that passage is a lot more “macho” and a lot less “useful self reliance skills” which I’ll agree is odd.
On the second point, I feel like your statement is a straw man due to the fact that, sure, part of what’s going on in the second passage is that kids get the “privilege to die”, but, the way you say that seems to ignore all of the (well established in my mind) benefits other than just death that kids raised in this manner would get.

Hey, put the second paragraph that way and I see what you mean. I’m going to edit a little note into the original comment to point this out.
