Look at the way popular culture has displayed the traditional male role in our society.
Men are displayed as the fool of the family. If not a total fool then an abuser of women and children.
The court system is slanted against them in any divorce settlement to the point that they start asking themselves why would they want to grow up. Our culture doesn't emphasis the traditional male role of the wise father and loving husband. We celebrate single mothethood and constantly hear that the father isn't needed and in fact is the problem. Our society is reaping what we have sown.
Young women are encouraged to not let anything but her own self interest guide her. If she dreams of meeting a great man and raIsing a family she is looked at with contempt.
There is NO celebration of self sacrifice for either gender that is required to raise a family. It's all about ME, ME , ME!

According to Associated Press, young men are almost twice as likely as young women to still be living with their parents, and less likely to finish college or have a job. High unemployment is obviously a big part of the problem, but experts also point to cultural elements, such as online porn and video games, or to the education system and parenting.
For young men attending Insight Intensive, a residential program in Boulder, Colorado, it's a classic case of "failure to launch." The residential program was co-founded by Joseph DeNucci to help depressed young men who have felt unable to motivate themselves to find work.
DeNucci explains, "For years, we've been sending people to 12-step programs. But this 18- or 19-year-old who's smoking pot, playing World of Warcraft and sitting on the couch in his parents' home — is he an addict? No. He might be working on being an addict ... I think they all know, at some level, that something has to change."
The program provides residents with a motivational and structured environment that includes a healthy sleep schedule, exercise, group therapy, family therapy, and meaningful conversation. Critics accuse the camp of "coddling" the young men, but Tracy Markle, Insight's clinical director, says it's about "getting them an identity that is separate from their parents ... For a lot of these families, success is power. If you don't have it, you're nobody. That's the message."
That might be because the parents' success is a prerequisite. The program costs $350 per day.

The cost is a bit much though.
place.
I guess you could kick him out on the street.
But not a national police force.
And give them 8 weeks of basic traing then 8 more of advanced infantry training.
The feds can't draft people to shift bed pans but states and localities weren't constrained (see the tenth amendment) near as much as the fed gov.
You want to end the military industiral complex then you will need a trained ("well regulated") militia to secure the country from invasion.
Also I'm not for abolishing the regular military, just cutting it in half and slashing their budget by two thrids over ten years.
The only justification for a darft is the defense of the country. We don't need one now.
Helping seniors or what ever should be voluntary charity work.
Do ya think maybe when Genisis 2 was being written they were having the same social problem?
Moses also delivered the commandment
"Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth."

Maybe training for a National Police Force.
