@JohnRodriguesPhotographer that's why there's also repetition training every few years, and why the only thing that would change between conscript training and mobilization is that the platoon would get a different CO, a lieutenant, instead of the captain that was in charge of the training as the entire officer cadre would take the war time station of their rank instead of the peace time station a step or two below their actual rank compared to professional armies.
Also, as for initiative and capability, that's a doctrinal issue, partially of the initial screening.
When you process every single 17yo in the country every year with medical, psychological and physical capacity tests and select the most suitable of those to each of the required service stations for the following year until the units that are to be trained that year are filled and a number of the next bests records are kept as a reserve in case of any primary assignees beeing unable or unwilling to report for training duty, any potential recruits with a few short of a six-pack doesn't even get selected for grunt service.
(Lack of a valid, pre-aproved, reason to refuse to report for training is a felony that carries up to 6months prison time)
Also, the specific total defence doctrine has a few prioritised principles:
1) it's always better to do something a bit wrong within the intent of the objectives without an order than to do nothing for fear of not doing perfect.
2) every message instructing surrender is false.
(Our government, prime minister and parliament doesn't have any constitutional mandate to negotiate or order a surrender, and neither does the monarch anymore iirc)

Lots of anecdotal nationalist bs in here...
The main reason why US cars are cheap in the US and expensive in Europe and the other way around for European cars is pretty simple: Logistics. And that has very little to do with car quality.
Secondly, up until a couple of decades ago, cars transported as cargo were often transported secured on deck of the cargo ships as they don't stack well in the hold for some reason... /s
That means they were subjected to the tender mercies of ocean water spray, varying temperatures, direct and reflected sunlight etc...
Not all car manufacturers applied rust protective coatings underneath cars at the factory by default either, and if the cars wasn't washed before that coating was applied on arrival, the saline residue the cars picked up in transit got trapped between the bare or just undercoated metal and the rust protection coat with predictable results for car longevity...
Finally, US vehicles, as far as I'm aware, has no federal level legal requirements for anual vehicle condition and safety inspections or standardised laws on custom vehicle definitions/road legal requirements while most European countries do have both.
That said, the OC did make a good joke.
