Ender used to think that Battle School was in place to help the soldiers and protect the world, but Dink Meeker, Ender's toon leader told him something that planted a seed of doubt in Ender. Dink pointed out how hard the leaders of their school were making life for Ender, and said that he declined the offer to lead an army because he didn't want to become crazy like the other army leaders were. Dink said that Battle School was just a way for the I.F. to stay in power, that the buggers weren't real, and that as long as the common people are in fear of buggers and the I.F. is in power, certain countries can stay in control. Ender didn't draw the same conclusions as Dink, though. He knew the buggers were real, and that the I.F. didn't control the videos and the nets. He believed that America, the place where he grew up was free, but he wasn't sure, and that doubt stayed in his mind. The doubt made him focus more on what people mean as opposed to what they say, and that made him wise.
