We are told Starfleet isn’t military, but what we are told and how it (often) acts and is structured like always meant an interesting conflict.
Also, I don’t mind that it looks more like higher edication than military. I mind that it looks too much like what we have nowadays. Star Trek fashion was, though memeable, it’s own distinct thing. Like we don’t do fashion today as people in the 18th or 19th century, why should 23rd or 24th century fashion look like ours?
ENT played that nicely, those costumes bridged the gap almost perfectly (especially Starfleet uniforms), looking enough like later (in the timeline) stuff but reminiscend of what we have today, like a natural evolution.
Bur Academy is to be set in 32nd century, it should be as distant to us as the 10th century.
Alright, that’s fair reasoning. I don’t sweat it when a sci-fi future looks oddly contemporary, just like I don’t sweat it when a period piece does the Bridgerton thing of including modern pop songs and printed dress patterns. A little artistic licence doesn’t bother me for stuff like that, but I get the perspective.
