national-service-commentary

Without Question and Without Exception EVERYONE should serve some form of public service. Rich, Poor, male, female, EVERYONE.
Everyone needs to learn that there is something more important in this world than they are. Some type of public service, minimum of FOUR years with a year of college at an in-state school for every year completed honorably, and a prohibition of college for NOT completing it. Yes, I said it...If you don't do your service you don't go to college.
Military service to being teacher's aids to working in a nursing home. EVERYONE should serve somehow.

I have always been a proponent of mandatory service of some type. We all should support the community that supports us in return.

Great article on service to the nation. I think there should be a mandatory two year conscription to a national level service. Not everyone is cut out to be a soldier, there are lots of other federal agencies that would benefit and people would get exposed to more than their generally limited perspective of what this country is.
