    The Chinese school age population is about 15 million per grade. So this is military training of a very large number of students. More than actual military effectiveness, it will increase social cohesiveness through a shared experience of universal service.

    I believe the Nazis and Japanese did the same thing. Hopefully the result is different this time.
