I have been a proponent of mandatory national service for a long time. I believe that once young adults graduate high school, they either serve in the armed forces or serve in other capacities.
The problem with that is the “serve in other capacities” section. Work for Planned Parenthood? Volunteer with Occupy? Keep in mind that legislation is all about details.
I agree, mostly to counteract the brainwashing in the public education system
Involuntary servitude, eh?
I thought folks here at FR were against that sorta thing. No?
