I had "military training" in high school, and there was an optional ROTC in college. I placed them in quotes because it wasn't really any rigorous training, more of like an intro. There was emphasis on discipline, following orders, squats as punishment, but most students weren't taking it too seriously. I think making it compulsory between 18-20 is fine. It is so much better than what South Korea is doing where they randomly call back citizens to render service again to keep the knowledge fresh.

Yep, I agree it can be of great value to all involved, especially in these troubled times.
