RE: Major exaggeration on Sixty Minutes - German prison system as a valid template for the US to try to emulate
One of the things that should be required in all US schools before graduating high school is a mandatory Basic Training Boot Camp to discipline all kids for the real world. At the completion of that you would graduate Highschool .
I don't totally disagree. Just kinda seems kinda commie. North Korea/China also have rules like this in place. Except I think it's actual military service requirements.
There is a line of thought that US should still have compulsory military service, including men and women. For one year maybe? Two years maybe?
Would make the leaders in Washington think harder about sending troops into new wars, if they were voting on sending their own sons and daughters into harms way.
And there all the side benefits of integrated service. All classes, all social groups, everyone getting at least 16 weeks of serious discipline before they are deemed to be "an adult"
I don't think the USA could even institute a draft anymore. I like Trump but I would flee to Canada. War is hell and we have 10 times the military we need to unleash total hell and destroy the entire world.
If everyone that threatened to flee to Canada if xxxx happened actually did, it would be a better place in the US. LOL
Actually I might not even have to bother to flee. Our prisons are already full. Ignoring jury summons is illegal but I think most people do it along with drugs, speeding etc etc. We could all probably be serving lifetime prison sentences if our laws were all fully enforced.
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.
