Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Monday night advocated a form of national public service for all young adults as a way to create unity among Americans.
"We really want to talk about the threat to social cohesion that helps characterize this presidency but also just this era," the mayor of South Bend, Ind., told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "One thing we could do that would change that would be to make it, if not legally obligatory, but certainly a social norm that anybody after they're 18 spends a year in national service."

Fine, bring back the draft so teenagers can learn the patriotism and discipline they didn’t learn in school.

Well, it’s his way of meeting more guys.

Have people figured it out yet? All the media coverage on this guy. He is the one who has been chosen by the dark side. He has longstanding connections to some very powerful people.
