Personally I think every student right after high school should be required to take a sort of military boot camp experience for 6 months or longer. We have so many undisciplined, ungrateful young people who need to know the meaning of discipline and responsibility.
My husband who is ex Army said the same thing. Too many kids don't even know how to make a bed, much less take orders from their parents. I'd say a short stent in the service/without going to war would do them a bit of good like you said.

In Israel, this is the case. Everybody serves a mandatory conscription at age 18 including women because their country is surrounded by enemies.
That way if they were ever invaded, everybody would know how to fight.
