Tom Knighton has an article at Townhall.com that claims we should follow the lead of a European nation. What? Say it ain't so! We followed European Leftist ideas like socialized medicine and socialized welfare, to our dismay. But reading on, we find that indeed this nation is onto something and we SHOULD follow its lead. The article can be found at For Once, America SHOULD Follow a European Nation's Lead.
Poland has concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They have to believe they're on the hit list somewhere and so they're getting ready to fight. How? By making marksmanship a mandatory school subject.

There's an apocryphal quote attributed to Japanese Admiral Yamamoto where he is alleged to have said that you could not invade the United States because "there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." While he may not have actually said it, a similar attitude should be fostered in our nations' enemies and it should be based on fact.
Every man, woman, and child should know how to use a firearm. They should have the basics of firearm safety and marksmanship engrained in them from an early age and it should be encouraged well after the school years are over.
Many have noticed the Peter Pan effect in the last few decades, as children rather than growing up and moving out to start their lives seem to linger in their parents' basements well into their 30s. But training in the use of firearms and the other subjects Polish children will be receiving has a way of turning children into adults rather quickly. If our military isn't too far gone down the woke road, perhaps it might be a good idea to bring back Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) to high schools.
Please read the whole article, which isn't that long.
