Agreed!
And, Boot Camp for all should be as much like Parris Island and MCRD as possible!
I’m retired Navy, but in 1964, when I went through the Naval Aviation School of Pre-Flight in Pensacola, the military portion of our training was staffed and run by USMC Sergeants, the Class Officers were USMC Captains, and the Officer in Charge was a USMC Major.
For 16 weeks, for all intents and purposes, it was as if we were in a USMC boot camp! It was a great intro into the military and outstanding training experience!
OoohRaaah!
No everyone in the US does not need to go through bootcamp to become a patriotic American. Its not fiscally possible with our huge population anyway and the ROI would not warrant the cost even if it was possible.
You know who produces the best patriotic Americans? Parents. We have the greatest military in the world and all volunteers.
