Joseph,
I don’t know if you were addressing what I wrote. I understand your marines analogy but I don’t think its the same. I think there are more important things than levush and I wish certain things such as how Hashem loves me and to have an emotionally connection to Hashem were stressed. Then again, I realize I am asking to have had a neochassidic chinuch and my rebbeyim were not neochassidim. And not a total neochosid but I do have some leanings within a litvish framework.
I sometimes wonder if the whole emphasis on the yeshivish levush then was to build up a tzibur. Today no kid in high school has a hava amina to not wear a white shirt every day. But today’s roshay yeshiva wore stripe shirts. So does it really matter?
