In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Taxpayers pay $800,000 for Mickey Mouse figurines

In this amazing article, you can read about how the U.S. Army is paying Disney, yes, Disney, $800,000 to train doctors and hospital staff on customer service. Why would anyone working in a hospital need training on how to humanely treat people? Isn't that why people go into the health care profession, because they want to help people? Unfortunately, the training does not address the root cause of the problems (socialized army medicine) so the training will have little to no impact.

At least everyone who attended this quite expensive training, paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, got a Mickey Mouse figurine.
