"Strict" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here. Nobody cares/knows if you read "The Conquest of Bread" once or a book of MLK's writings.
His superiors aren't the ones doing background checks, that happens during enlistment. Once you're in a unit, unless your superiors actively think you're up to something (or want a reason to chapter you out of the military) nobody is pre-emptively investigating you.

Was it during the enlistment process or did you make it through the initial paperwork, get through the MEPS station (or whatever your country's version of it is), get through basic training, get through advanced individual training (actually learning your specific military specialty), get assigned to your first unit, and THEN get kicked out?
