College
Young
Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue.

Aimless
It is heroic to prepare for war with a tyrant power. Patriots will always win the admiration of mankind for daring to meet the bloodshed of battle for their country's liberty.
