Pledging to make public service a hallmark of her would-be administration, Democrat Hillary Clinton proposed Friday a 5 million-member national service reserve project that would train Americans to respond to natural disasters, health emergencies and other crises.
The program, Mrs. Clinton said, would allow citizens to continue working in their full-time jobs but essentially would put them on call if state or local governments need more bodies.
If you join the national service reserve, you will receive some basic training, just like you would in the military reserves. And then when your city or state needs you, youll get the call, Mrs. Clinton said at a rally in Florida. Say a natural disaster strikes and the Red Cross needs all hands on deck, or maybe like the water crisis in Flint [Michigan], and clean water has to be distributed every day to a lot of families. Or maybe your city launches a major public health campaign to reduce drug abuse or promote mental health. You will then be sent into action.

Hmmm, I wonder if Hillary will arm them with M-16s or AK-47s?
IF she should win - 5 million Americans should surge on Washington ( or wherever she is , and physically depose her ,before she can ever take any oath of office .
I for one will NEVER live under a Hillary Clinton administration . Out of the question . No way
If you join the national service reserve, you will receive some basic training (read: political idoctrination), just like you would in the military reserves. And then when your city or state (or a DNC-affiliated group) needs you, youll get the call, Mrs. Clinton said...
The USA lacks the infrastructure to deploy such a force in a timely manner.
I think Obama required high school students to do service projects in order to graduate.
It’s indentured servitude.
Hillary wants to ramp it up.
It’s either indentured servitude or it’s tax and spend. I don’t think there were any limits on volunteerism before they took office. There might be now...example Cajun Navy.
I THOUGHT we already had the NATIONAL GUARD.
Forget Obama, Bill did this with AmeriCorps already.
Under Stalin it was called The People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs, wonder if Hillary will at least change the name?
Indeed. We were in the coast guard auxiliary for over 20 years and the govt cut spending these last few years so bad we didn’t do much at all. We would use our own boats and aircraft and would receive reimbursement . Then they started knocking off patrols and didn’t want to pay us the claims so we literally we funding the government for our out of pocket expenses. If Teump gets in I will probably go back to being active again.
Anyone who thinks there’s a martial equivalency between Hitler’s brownshirts and America’s bed-wetting, snowflake millenials has numerous screws loose.
