Take a step back and look at what problems you are trying to solve, and why you think the military is a good solution. There are probably other more more direct, less expensive methods than expanding the US military complex in order to funnel every citizen through it's ranks.

For starters, schools can't discipline kids that misbehave.
When teachers are suspended for giving kids that cheated on a test a failing grade there is a complete lack of recourse for any kids that do wrong.
Almost all public schools teach to the standardized tests so they can get their money.
Reminds me of the Asian countries and their pilot programs. Learn the checklist, not the material.
