    One year voluntary civic service would be better. Let the 18 year old choose anything from Marine Rifleman to public librarian, park ranger, lifeguard, coast guard, ambulance driver, garbage man etc etc etc for 18 months. Each service could come with its perk. Choosing the military route gives you an AR-15 that's yours for life. Park ranger, national and state park kids get access/campsites for life. after 12 months they qualify for 24 months of GI bill. This way the kid can do 2 years of community college on tuition assistance (ideally online/remote while doing their time) and walk away with a bachelors degree completely free, with job experience and actual pride in the country they helped maintain.

If you're one of those diehard "EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN THE TRADES" folks, join the army for a year/18 months as a welder, get out and use your bennies to pay for trade school.

    No it wouldn't.

    1) there's too many of them. Taking that number of young people out of the civ pop would be expensive; paying for the expenses of training them (instructor wages, gear, facilities, habitation, food, medical, etc.) in the context of the existing military-industrial-congressional complex would be ruinous.
    2) if you put them through selection to choose a manageable number, the GQP will try to insert their politics into the selection while simultaneously claiming the dems are doing the same. Selection would degrade into an endless quagmire that would retain the least desireable conscripts.
    3) there's no long term benefit from it unless you continue giving them refresher training down the line. Skills atrophy in abscense of training or use.
    4) it's unsuitable for the self-centered american culture. The idea of having to give up your freedom for a year when you feel that you don't owe your country anything would be met with fierce backlash. Morale would be a gigantic issue.
    5) it'd take up human resources better used for training and maintaining the existing professional and reserve forces. Good instructors and leaders don't grow in trees.
    6) the budget would be embattled every budget season. There would be cuts and raises, ups and downs. The system would degreade into a massive patchwork of disparate, ill-fitting equipment, processes and solutions due to being forced to adjust to having no money for uniforms one year, and having a billion dollars' worth of ultra-fancy combat boots rammed down its throat the next.
    7) it would further stir up inter-service rivalry. The drain on manpower would force them to compete for talent, much like higher employment numbers do in the civilian economy. Fighting for resources would cause further pointless up- and downswings in the budgets of the branches of the military, further degrading their capabilities.

    Since you can afford a professional army, and it works okay, stick with it.

    What would be better is a year of National Labor Service. Camps, field work, hard labor to burn fat and learn to follow orders.

      you want this

      One year voluntary civic service would be better. Let the 18 year old choose anything from Marine Rifleman to public librarian, park ranger, lifeguard, coast guard, ambulance driver, garbage man etc etc etc for 18 months. Each service could come with its perk. Choosing the military route gives you an AR-15 that's yours for life. Park ranger, national and state park kids get access/campsites for life. after 12 months they qualify for 24 months of GI bill. This way the kid can do 2 years of community college on tuition assistance (ideally online/remote while doing their time) and walk away with a bachelors degree completely free, with job experience and actual pride in the country they helped maintain.

      fire service could be one of the services to join for 12-18 months

    And waste even more time and money on them? Your argument's basic weakness is that a conscript after 12 months is somehow useful. A private after one year in the professional force is at the level where they can do their specialty with direct supervision. To have any level of real proficiency takes years more of dedicated training. The military isn't some fricking moron camp where plug and play any random civilian and expect things to perform. Every fricking trend in modern warfare since the early 1940s has been for increasingly complexity in all levels of military operation. From strategic direction, all the way down to basic soldier skills. Everything takes more time to learn how to do, everything takes years how to learn how do well. By the end of their term, a one year conscript will be only barely more useful than a random frickwit you just pulled of the street. The era of the peoples' army is fricking gone.

    It should just be a regular and mandatory part of education, just like literacy and arithmetic.
    On top of basic fitness, shooting and outdoor skills, it should include the very basics of crafts and machine culture - especially since zoomers seem to both treat machines as something normal and something magical and incomprehensible.
    There is for some reason an extremely stark cutoff for kids starting around 2007 where computer literacy and technical skills take a nosedive compared to earlier generations.

    For western militaries, conscription is waste of time, money, and resources. The army doesn't exist to "teach useful skills" the army's goal is to wage war in the most effective manner, and conscripts get in the way of that as conscripts make for shit soldiers.

      This. What is the practical reason for spending literal trillions of dollars on teaching tens of million of young people skills that they don't need? Keep in those same young people are already deficient in skills they actually do need such as math, reading, science etc. We do need to tackle childhood obesity and mental health but waiting until kids are 18 and putting in them in some expensive summer camp where they waste their time doing useless (for a future civilian) land nav type shit is a nonsensical solution. Perhaps a year of service like

      What would be better is a year of National Labor Service. Camps, field work, hard labor to burn fat and learn to follow orders. It worked awesomely for the germans before ww2 and might solve some great infrastructure problems like all that bushery that keep catching fire near non-urban homes because noone can normally be assed to trim it. Then let the kids go to their high schools and colleges with deep suntans and lean waists. Remember... Arbeit Mach Frei.

      could make sense but only until after the boomers die. They don't deserve to live in a society where young people do free labor to make their lives better. I'd vote for the program if it started in 2040 or later.

    Possibly. Do note however that the degree to which people in the military will take their training seriously is dependent on how many of them actually want to be there. My grandpa told me when he was doing his military service he managed to get promoted to lieutenant. He was put in charge of a couple dozen people and had them go camp for the night. It was cold and the ground was wet and muddy and nobody had any interest in being there until a higher ranking officer showed up and saw nothing had been accomplished. Needless to say, my grandpa was no longer a lieutenant after that day.

    Putting people into military service could help those people learn some basic skills, sure, but it might also bring down the experience for people who are more serious about a military career. After all, my school, which had lower grades overall than the fancy school down the road, consistently had higher greek and latin grades for students' final exams than the fancy school that had mandatory greek and or latin classes, because it didn't force people into it, so the only people doing it were people who were passionate about the subject.

    In reality, is the thing you're looking for not for the military to become another place where people learn life skills, but for schools to reform and become a place where people learn more useful skills?

    That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Everything you mentioned is in high school curriculum except maybe the gun portion, and some do have that.
    The worse part of conscription is having useless people around that don't pull any weight, require tons of remedial training because they don't take anything seriously and they're afraid to do any real bullshit work like moving around heavy equipment. I mean I think I only did half as well as I did in the Army having unmotivated people or dumbasses around to make me look better in comparison. That sort of shit destroys morale. Everyone is going to get fricked over for their frick ups so you're constantly going to have instructors pissed off and not teaching what they're suppose to be teaching. Then people that don't want to be there pick conflicts with other people that do want to be there. So you get reprimanded even more. It just drags down professionals on every level till people snap and start hazing and then it drags down the profession even further.

    Why even wait till 17-18?
    There were organizations like boyscouts and girlscouts to teach these skills and ethics.

    Conscription is only for defensive wars. Outside of that, you are a moron to use it as it overall will weaken you, lower the standards of the military/equipment/training, and will bleed your nation dry if used for expedition wars.

    I'm sick of homosexuals like OP acting like they know shit.

    It doesn't even need to be a year. 6 months of discipline at 17. You return home short before your 18th.
