Everything that the war teaches though, you can learn from a hospital. But this has nothing to do with those Robinhood traders did though. There was no "fog of war" when they were buying companies that they KNEW were going bankrupt. There was no "confusion" that those companies had no value and thus their stocks would have no value. They KNEW what they were getting into but they didn't give a s***. Now the s*** is really hitting the fan and they want to scramble for cover. LOL Yeah well the market doesn't work that way. You deal with s*** whether you like it or not; there is no cover and there is running away (unless of course you have $10+ trillion in assets and have friends in high places then you get what's called a bailout)
And btw, the military is very different from the business world. In the military, when you own up to your mistakes and admit your responsibility, you don't get fired and you even get promoted and you earn the respect of your fellow men. In the business world, when you own up to your mistakes and admit your wrongs, you become scapegoated; everybody dumps their fault on you. You get fired and not only you get fired, you even get sued and you get cast out of the society. In the business world, there is no honour, only saving your own a$$es. Whoever didn't get their a$$ handed to them. So this probably explains why there are so many empty seats in the audience.
