Doesn't the SecDef have more important things to do right now? Like fight a war no one but his boss wanted?

    You'd think so, but I'm sure they have some weird fantasy of transforming the Boy Scouts into the MAGA Youth, and guiding them from scouts, directly into the military's meat grinder.

    The most dangerous demographic group for any Dictatorship are Military Age Males. If you don't take control of them, they can be turned into an army against you.

    So it's best to filter them early, identify those who will be on your side, and can be properly educated as fuel for the government, and those who look like they could be trouble down the line, can be used as cannon fodder.

    Ah, the SecDef doesn't actually fight a war. He just supports starting one. And then like all richwhitemen in the USA have done, let a whole bunch of impressionable young people do the fighting and dying for him.

    Ask how I know!
