They do this in Israel. This would result in a better youth than we are seeing today. When I got out of Basic I was in the best physical shape ever. Running 10 miles and 100 push-ups was nothing.
At least the kids in Chicago might learn how to hit their target.

That said, I don't disagree that there should be some mandatory military training.
