In 1838, a 28-year-old Abraham Lincoln declared that the greatest threat facing America comes not from a foreign invader:
If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Obama in his Turd Term will be recruiting the OBAMA NATIONAL POLICE to replace all current police...... Sarc.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,...........
The rats want these national service types to get the same benefits as our military.
In a free society, nothing should be mandatory other than obeying just laws.
I believe in military conscription but not this. I would probably help the birthrate though as I am sure all the suburban girls pulled into national service would soon be having the rates of out of wedlock births as their sisters in uniform.
Every dollar spend on something like this will be a dollar that could have gone to restore the military.
Agreed. Taking productive people out of the workforce to do various civil projects is a greater waste.
A better solution is saying if you’re on welfare/SSDI and semi-capable, you’re picking up trash on the side of the road or parks a couple hours a week. Yes, this requires tying mandatory contraception to welfare benefits, which we should do anyway, so that someone can’t say I can’t work because there is yet another baby.
Want SSDI because you’re depressed at an inability to find work? We’ll have you cleaning public venues for money instead.
Totally stupid. Think Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Tiger Woods. They did their one year service attending elite universities and paying for it themselves. They found out it was not for them. No need for more indoctrination.
LOL.
We do NOT need the functionally stupid in the military. Let them borrow $70,000 for a degree in Art History, instead.
They look just like groups I have seen in Africa, and once the first gun fired a shot, they were scrambling around and running away like a bunch of bugs in the kitchen when the light was thrown on.
Generals and admirals are make effective military leaders but dangerous politicians. Our founders understood this when they established civilian authority over our armed forces. Of necessity, the military is a socialistic society in which all the basics of life are provided so that all energies may be devoted to training and fighting. Most flag officers view this artificial universe as normal — along with their juniors’ unquestioning deference and obedience to their authority and commands. With rare exceptions, a free society should not entrust such men with the reigns of political power, at least until they have proven over time to have embraced free markets and the strict Constitutional limits on the role of our armed forces.
Forced labor for the masses, Chritian teenagers sent to abortion mills to “assist” in the murder of the unborn.
NO FORCED GOVERNMENT LABOR TO INDOCTRINATE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN TO SOCIALISM/FASCISM.

When that happens, I will consider starting a chapter of W.L.M.
In a free society, nothing should be mandatory other than obeying just laws.

And paying taxes?
If you make it worth my while and clear it with my employer, no problem.
Or will be a dollar not spent on the SUV driving welfare queen using an EBT card to get bon-bons to watch Oprah with.
