Why it worked
The video likely resonated due to its contrarian take on a widely accepted path (college) and its focus on the transformative power of shared hardship and diverse experiences, which are relatable themes.
Summary
The video features a veteran arguing that the military experience is more impactful than college. He contrasts his own experience with that of a 33-year-old divorcé and a 20-year-old from Chicago, highlighting how basic training forces people from diverse backgrounds to work together and form a team. The speaker suggests that this shared experience and the resulting understanding of different walks of life provide a unique perspective that college often lacks.
