Truman urges universal military training bill
President Truman asked Congress to pass a universal one year military training program for all young men aged 17 to 20, with a small professional army backed by reserves. He said the atomic bomb needs a strong army, air force and navy and urged that training begin after high school or at age 18, with no exemptions except for total physical disqualification. Training would include combat and noncombat roles, and those never in combat could gain useful skills. He stressed prompt action while memories of war’s dangers remain fresh and noted Congress would control enlistment under the plan.
