It’s institutional sadism behind closed doors, chucked out in woop woop at a remote 19th Century sheep station ‘Duntroon’ converted to a military training institution all deliberately out of sight of decent Australian society’s oversight and moral scrutiny.
Read on…

[Written by a former RMC junior cadet]
“Theodore Millon claimed there were four subtypes of sadism, which he termed enforcing sadism, explosive sadism, spineless sadism, and tyrannical sadism.”
RMC has all three ‘in-house methods’ formulated in spades!
Is Hollywood culture in Los Angeles worse that RMC Duntroon culture in Canberra? Ask those successful freshmen selected for RMC Duntroon deemed elite candidate applicants to be accepted into RMC Duntroon deemed suitable to have the qualities to train to lead war fighters in combat, but then upon entry Duntroon saw the con and smartly quit early.
Just read this legendary song’s wise lyrics:
[Verse 1]
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
[Verse 2]
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin’ to myself
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
[Chorus]
“Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here”
[Verse 3]
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
[Verse 4]
So I called up the Captain
“Please bring me my wine”
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
Since 1969”
And still those voices are callin’
From far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
[Chorus]
“Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis”
[Verse 5]
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice, and she said
“We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device”
And in the master’s chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast
[Verse 6]
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
“Relax,” said the night man
“We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave”
[Guitar Solo]
