The answer is mandatory National Service.
At age 18 EVERYONE goes with no exemptions for any but the most crippling of conditions such as confined to bed and hooked up to a respirator.
The best of these kids will be in the fighting end and the rest in support. Two full yrs and not a day less, long with bonuses offered to reenlist to those deserving.
And use that time to inoculate them against collectivism before they go to college.
No it isn’t. The modern military doesn’t need two year and leave rotations. That is a recipe for disaster
No. Half these kids hate America. I don't want malcontents who are there against their will working side by side the men and women who want to be there.
I'm active duty E6.
Do you want some pissed-off snowflake who hates America, hates the President, hates the military doing maintenance on an F/A-18 engine? I don't want them anywhere near me or my Sailors.
“The answer is mandatory National Service.”

No thanks.
Involuntary servitude.
No thanks. I can’t think of a better way to indoctrinate young minds into accepting collectivism than making them slaves for part of their young lives.
Yes and it will make a more conservative electorate
