Your comparison is apple and orange if you think a person's education in software is comparable to an army. in army, the training is real hands on. rigid. while learning how to code is never a real hands on, always partly figuring out on your own, thus each person having more various understanding/competency on how to do the job.

like which part of Europe? Greece, Italy and Spain? I think the location has nothing to do whether the vocational model is working or not. It is because of the country's problem, not the curriculum itself. The Dutch, Germany and Scandinavian has strong vocational program in their education system and they're doing fine with it.
