Germany had the Hitler Youth Corps, the US has the Middle School Cadet Corps!

Military programs are moving into middle schools to fish for future soldiers, training students as young as 11 to march in formation and carry weapons.

"The United States, which currently accepts 17-year old volunteers into its armed forces, has vigorously opposed an 18-year minimum, despite the fact that 17-year olds make up less than one-half of one percent of its active forces."
