RE: Major exaggeration on Sixty Minutes - German prison system as a valid template for the US to try to emulate
Uh yeah. We can't even teach kids how to read and write let alone discipline. Maybe discipline would lead to better education but discipline would probably be scary for the sheeple.
Discipline would scare the crap out of the liberal left. IMAGINE !!! Forcing kids to do a year of military service. The left would FLIP out. They don't want anyone instilling the smallest iota of discipline and level headed thinking into the youth.
Democraps would permanently lose a key portion of their base - the idealistic youth who have no real world experience
Never said 1 year of military service , just a basic training boot camp style type of thing. It would also guarantee all graduates are in shape!
I think a lot of the right would also flip out. We'd probably have to lower standards a lot. Physical fitness is underrated. I would support having the military try and help get kids fit during schools gym classes. I took 3 and a 1/2 years of gym class because I realized the importance of physical fitness. I think most high schools probably only require 1 year of gym class. Running a mile or 5 in full gear during basic training is a lot different than shooting a basketball around for an hour. lol
Works well in Israel. Could work in the US as well.
