Too many of our young people are struggling—not because they lack talent, but because they lack structure, purpose, and pride.
I’m not saying we should send them to fight in wars across the globe. I’m saying we should consider what many other countries have done: introduce shared service that builds character, not combat readiness.
Military training can teach discipline. It can foster respect for the land we live in. It can help a young person understand sacrifice, take responsibility, and develop a deep pride in their country—things that are disappearing fast in today’s culture.
This kind of service isn’t about violence. It’s about contribution. In a time when entitlement is rising and gratitude is vanishing, we need to rethink what it means to serve.
If we want a stronger, more capable generation—we have to give them something worth being strong for.
