Hmmmm sounds like it's already been done before.

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg wants to dramatically increase national service opportunities to "reignite a sense of unity in America."
The South Bend, Ind. mayor on Wednesday announced what his campaign has dubbed "A New Call to Service." The initiative would build a network of one million National Service members by 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence.
“National service can help us to form connections between very different kinds of Americans, as was my experience in the military,” Buttigieg said in announcing his plan.
Pointing to his tours of duty in Afghanistan, the 37-year-old emphasized that "I served alongside and trusted my life to people who held totally different political views. You shouldn't have to go to war in order to have that kind of experience, which is why I am proposing a plan to create more opportunities for national service."

Okay!
Let’s go with a National “Beat The Crap out Of A Liberal Week” shall we?
National Service? Can we call it Na-Sce for short?
AmeriCorps III
I remember the offices setup back in the 90’s.
They are all long gone
“You get chains, and you get chains. You all get chains!”
Will joining Antifa count?
I wonder what color shirt we’ll get to wear?
Is AmeriCorps still around?
I recall from previous decades, VISTA volunteers were active.
Point is, haven’t we been there and done that?
I never heard Obama talk about AmeriCorps. I wonder if he would know how to pronounce it.
Hmmmm sounds like it's already been done before.
It did not end well.
Wasn’t something like this proposed, but not passed, back around 1965 as an alternate to the Draft?
Same as the old call for service.
Mandatory.
Giving us new opportunities...”or else!”
If you want to unite the country, Pete, you can start by telling your side to drop the extreme leftism and to quit pushing for the personal destruction and deplatforming of those on the right.
Designed to turn it’s young participants into lifelong Democrats. Peace Corp did it-idealism.
Hitler and Stalin already tried that...
The left is responsible for all the division. What he is really calling for is government sponsored national indoctrination service.
Hide the soap nite!
The beauty is, I think Pete just ended his presidential run and maybe more with this BS.
Divide and conquer lefties like Buttitieg are not interested in unity, only unified support for their takeover plans.
