Not really talking about the guns part. More the working out, the team building, the discipline. When I did basic training we only had like 1 or 2 days for training with guns. I was in the navy tho.
All of those can be taught in a civilian way, ideally in school. As much as I personally hate exercising, schools do need more PE and more sports and civil service events that would tie people together. Discipline, too, is part of a solid school background, although, and this is the problem with the army too, it must not be confused with obedience.
Sure. But since they don’t, a 90 day training session after senior year could do the job.
