doesn’t this just go right along with the Serve America Act that he (Pres O) recently signed in Spring 09? If I recall, that Act sets up students for “voluntary” service to specified activities, none of which are religious in nature.
If so, then he’s just rolling right along with his plan to have mandatory service for all Americans between ages 18 and 45 (could be wrong on the ages)...maybe he’s hoping/planning for these young people to be part of his civilian force?
Just thinking aloud...
My thoughts exactly!
