Legion Plan Aims Four Months Training With Civilian Pathways
Washington. The American Legion nationwide proposes a four month basic training bill that allows 18 year olds to return to school or join a National Guard, Naval Reserve, ROTC, civilian military training corps, or work eight months in a national defense plant. It argues for practical modern training beyond drills and stresses integrating adults as civilian defenders. A veterans group endorses regular training but warns against overburdening youth and favors Swiss-style civilian army until adulthood. Congress will consider various plans, with this approach aiming for readiness without eroding education.
