Nope, just have every able bodied 18 Year Old attend an abbreviated National Guard Boot Camp for a Month.
On their way Home, tell them they are on Call for the next four Years just in case their Nation needs them.
No College Deferrals, no Family Obligations, nothing but a Month Long paid Vacation courtesy of Uncle Sam.
Two months would be better and would get more of the core training done. You could cut NBC, heavy weapons, commo, and some of the FTX. I would still keep the PT, drilling, marching, basic first aid, range time and then stick them in the woods for a week then road march them home.
Finding the drill instructors and space would be very hard, plus you would have to pay them. We could not do all of the male 18 year olds to start with.
I would run every 22 year old thru 3-4 month boot camp.
And from that, try to recruit the top 2-3 percent ( approx 60K) for five+ years for special forces, urban warfare... other combat shortages. And give them money for college or trade school or start a business after.
That way you get a look at everyone, and see what they are capable of, in case there is a massive war in the future where a volunteer force can’t do it. You have an inventory of potential draftees.
at the end you have the snowflakes up to the level of an average kid in the 1950’s - knows the rules of gun safety, what to do in the bush, do what they are told, be polite etc.
You want to push people but it’s not the foreign legion boot camp of near-death.
Except for the gang bangers, antifada and others who do not want to behave and do what they are told. For them, boot camp like the SS without the racism.
Don’t forget the AR that you be to keep afterwards if you’ve passed proficiency training and don’t have any felonies :-)
I used to think that bringing back a Draft would be a good idea. But, now? Perhaps a type of conscription for training and familiarization with military order and discipline for two years.
However, any type of program such as this would have to have real teeth in it. But it just won’t work. The only correction needed is a good old fashioned pandemic or catastrophic disaster in which large percentages of a given population are shocked back to reality, or perishes in the calamity.
