Maybe this is a good thing.
Republicans could never have gotten away with proposing a draft - but could be some form of national service, is just what the youth of America need.
Seriously. Many seem aimless, almost lost. Give them a purpose for once. Get them out from behind their hyphenated-identity nonsense, together as just Americans for the first time in their lives.
Many have grown up smothered by a generation of ex-hippies as parents. Give them an alternative to that.
Give them choices. Military service. Health care service. Or infrastructure. Two years, then out. Pay a reasonable wage, and you've got a whole new generation of purpose-driven, possibly gung ho patriotic young people, with some real job aptitudes and sense of togetherness, entering the US workforce.
What's a better idea? More illegals and contract workers from India and China?
Let's take him up on the idea.
Sure ! Let's let our government, who has these same kids for 13 years in public school, keep them for another 2 years to try to indoctrinate them further.
Since the left runs the government and has since the 30s, and the left runs the K-12 establishment and has since the 60s, who do you think will magically step forward to clean up the mess the left has already made with these kids ? And, can it be accomplished with all these kids in 2 years ? If they couldn't accomplish it in K-12, it won't happen in any "national service" organization run by the left.
Our military personnel don't seem to want the draft, because they don't want to fight along side of people who are forced to be there.
WTF is wrong with their existing choices when it's time for them to GET A JOB?
