It’s also a consequence of going so long without having a war, especially once Vietnam ended and we went to an all-volunteer military.

It was a given back then that boys should early on start acquiring skills they would need to be soldiers, since pretty much you could count on another war to happen every 20-40 years.

A very astute observation. Every generation needs to have capable men to be the backbone that provides for the nations protection. Through the military is a good option as long as it is not run by Rachel Levine or Milley.
