Did they have to force someone to train new employees? I wouldn’t like that to happen to me because the new ones here don’t really seem like they have big appetites for knowledge, in most cases.

When told I had to train my replacement I put my badge on the manager's desk and told him I was a at will employee and I will walk out the second he asked me again. How the job gets done after that is not my problem.
I left under my own terms several months later.
Just tell your manager:
"I've been here for X years, so it will take me that many years to transfer all my accumulated knowledge. At that point, I can retire, and the new employee will have been here for that many years too, and you yoy can repeat this process with them."
Happened once. I initially resisted then thought I'd have some fun.
Replacement trainee apparently "misunderstood" some "insight" I gave him.
After I left, I learned a large CEC production LPAR wouldn't IPL. The site was down for hours as REAL tech support was not available that am hour Sunday.
I poured a glass of champagne and lit a cigar over that - Success and satisfaction on my end.
Not sure I really understand the question, but your employment contract/offer letter you accepted probably says something like "...and other duties as assigned".
So yes: if your boss tells you to train the newbies, you train the newbies.
To be honest, though, from your note I don't think that the problem here is with the newbies. If you find that none of the people you are assigned to teach don't seem to want to learn, you might ask yourself what the common denominator is.

They don’t train new employees. Which is part of the problem.
Don’t worry. It won’t happen to you.
Huh?
