What If? “Public Schooling” worldwide on average replaced Physical Education with Combat/Military Training?

[CarlManvers2019]

Let’s just say this occurs sometime 1800s or before or during WWI-Cold War

Even the Communists try imitating this need to turn as many people as possible into guys who can and will fight for the state, though presence of actual equipment may not be available

“Private Schools” include this in the curriculum, also

Are we including the instillation of similar levels of personal discipline as part of that combat training?

Yes, you also include having teachers who have been horribly crippled and mutilated by war teaching "History & Moral Philosophy"

The latter goes on about how VOTING is a form of violence and that people have no "moral instinct"

What exactly will be the PE curriculum through the various years of school. Not gonna lie, it seems like there shouldn't be too much dramatically changed in the early years unless your going full fascist mode.

Organized sports are fascist and oppressive enough for many in school already.

The “PE Curriculum” will be things such as CPR, First Aid, Hostage Negotiations, Stealth, Guerilla Warfare, Armed & Unarmed CQC, running through inconvenient areas, assembling and disassembling guns, marksmanship, climbing, using military vehicles etc

Gonna be REALLY fucking expensive

But let’s just say that somehow, lots of money that goes to non-STEM classes goes into this

No more chunky people. I also think that you would have to make the schools have immunity from lawsuits, since people will get injured and/or die in accidents. Not common, but they will happen.

Aren't there chunky people in the military? I mean, I think I've heard before that the mega buff body builder physique isn't so good for actual combat or stamina

By chunky, I meant fat, roly poly, huggable, extra round, pear shaped. Take your pick. Sure a large body is not good for stamina, which is what the military focuses on, but there is a big difference between buff and fat.

Oh okay

Man, I’m thinking “MREs” or canned foods for lunch

Actually, at least in the US military during training, we get fed a much wider variety than what MRE's provide, those are normally reserved for when we're eating out in the field or when someone misses a meal and needs to eat.
