Background Pony #AD14
Let’s get down to business  
To defeat the Huns.  
Did they send me daughters  
When I asked for sons?
 
You’re the saddest bunch I ever met  
But you can bet before we’re through  
Mister, I’ll make a man  
Out of you.
 
Tranquil as a forest  
But on fire within.  
Once you find your center  
You are sure to win.
 
You’re a spineless, pale pathetic lot  
And you haven’t got a clue.  
Somehow I’ll make a man  
Out of you.
 
Chien-po: I’m never gonna catch my breath  
Yao: Say goodbye to those who knew me  
Ling: Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym  
Mushu: This guy’s got them scared to death  
Mulan: Hope he doesn’t see right through me  
Chien-po: Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
 
[men] BE A MAN  
We must be swift as a coursing river  
[men] BE A MAN  
With all the force of a great typhoon  
[men] BE A MAN  
With all the strength of a raging fire  
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
 
Time is racing toward us  
‘til the Huns arrive.  
Heed my every order  
And you might survive.
 
You’re unsuited for the rage of war  
So pack up, go home you’re through  
How could I make a man  
Out of you?
 
[men] BE A MAN  
We must be swift as a coursing river  
[men] BE A MAN  
With all the force of a great typhoon  
[men] BE A MAN  
With all the strength of a raging fire  
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
 
[everyone]BE A MAN  
We must be swift as a coursing river  
BE A MAN  
With all the force of a great typhoon  
BE A MAN  
With all the strength of a raging fire  
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon  
Hoo-ah!

How does having a strict training regimen translate to military? Did anyone there ever even imply that it was military? What kind of military induction lasts a week? Why wasn’t Rainbow called a member of the military if that was military?
 
And for the record, that was one of the weakest BMT take-offs that I’ve seen.
 
It was the training camp for an athletic team. Of course they’re going to have strict standards.
 
Also, they were deployed in combat against Giant!Spike so they definitely have purposes other than civilian ones.
 
At most, that was civilian rescue, but given that their captain didn’t go with them, I think that they were just a bunch of good samaritans.
 
Given that the Manes have been involved in more official operations, that would make them military, if that’s the metric that you’re going by. We’ve seen Applejack go into the Everfree to rescue Spike. Does that make her military? Fluttershy calmed Cerberus? Rarity talking down the Diamond Dogs? Rainbow Dash setting up as a super hero? All the Mane Six in all three season openers?

Wonderbolt Academy was basically bootcamp, and Spitfire was being a drill instructor. That is military stuff. Also, they were deployed in combat against Giant!Spike so they definitely have purposes other than civilian ones.

For no obvious reason, the Equestrian military seems to be male only. It might be because Equestria is in peace time, but that’s about the only job where a mare would have to pass as a stallion.
 
There’s no stigma to female combatants outside of the Guard, so I don’t know what the deal with that is.
 
@Fortune  
Really? That made me more convinced than ever that it was a civilian organization. Rainbow’s training in Hurricane Fluttershy was closer to military discipline, and that was still a far cry.
 
There’s never been any kind of implication to the Wonderbolts being military. The most that you can say is that they have strict standards.

@Kamazeustra  
True.  
Who the Hell knows how it all works.
 
It depends on whether you think the Wonderbolts are part of the military (guide book says otherwise, but everything from “Wonderbolt’s Academy” says yes) and since they have Spitfire as a commanding officer…

@Sjogre  
It’d probably work.  
Have to pluck the eyelashes as well, but since some mares wear fake ones anyway…
 
Of course, Equestria seems to be slightly more matriarchal, so if there wasn’t some form of gender equality, it’d be more a stallion trying to pass himself off as a mare.

I feel like even though their motivations wouldn’t really match up and their personalities are only marginally similar, Twilight and Mulan would be great friends.
