You can either be free or you can have mandatory service. The two don’t mesh. There is always some lame brain pushing this idea and their rationale is that other countries do it.

So let’s ignore election theft and start implementing Phase II of Communist overthrow. This is disgusting.

Anyone seriously supporting this needs to be beaten within an inch of their life, disenfranchised, and deported.

Gee what a swell idea. Forced labor for the Marxists. This country is off the damn rails if this kind of stupid idea is being pushed by Townhall.

And we call all be indoctrinated with lessons in diversity, critical race theory, and Marxism.

We’re finally making some inroads into breaking the public school indoctrination monopoly (11% of students are now homeschooled) and you want to undo it all.

No thanks.

Sounds like one more mandatory indoctrination opportunity, as well as another redistribution of wealth.

Too bad they are destroying the military with making it the LGBQT or whatever.

Beyond dangerous and reckless idea.
Lets set up a mandatory Soros Youth Group to
brainwash all those kids
that the Commie public schools missed .
What a clueless fool .

Well of course the RATS like Buttguy would be for this. We could have the Young Commissars and the Youth Pioneers. I hear the Russians have a whole lot of red scarfs for sale cheap.

Mandatory military service in the current environment will provide even more opportunity for indoctrination of our youth about evil white people. What is being suggested is pie in the sky BS. There are a plethora of logistical and legal hurdles to be cleared. The author somehow thinks people in rural America never meet people of other races an creeds. City folk never meet country bumpkins. That thought process is 40 years or more outdated. Even more so because of the rise of social media in the last 10 years.

The author seems to want the State to teach our children responsibility and not the parents. At our kitchen table my mother explained to me how in Gods eyes we are all the same. Treat all people with respect. My father taught me to respect any man who works hard for a living. Working men regardless of race deserve respect.

Absolutely not. Just another way for the lift to develop their American version of the Hitler Youth. With them everything is indoctrination

Having half the country getting substantial government handouts and the other half paying burdensome taxes is a recipe for deep division.

this would actually be a terrific idea if only there weren’t so many stupid or poorly educated people in this country.

Sounds like slavery to me. Want to help heal the nation? Get rid of the journalists

They are already indoctrinated K-12, now they want to take away another year from every youngster before they can become productive?

“We no longer interact with those outside our own cohort. A rich kid growing up with parents in the New York City finance world likely has zero idea what it’s like in an aging Ohio steel town. The kid in the steel town can’t even imagine New York. They are two different worlds. Throw in racial division, and the whole thing is magnified. For a multiethnic, multiracial country with as many new immigrants as we have, this sort of polarization is deadly to national culture and unity. None of these dynamics is brand-new, but they are getting worse.”

How about just moving the Congress around?

A session in Youngstown or Compton would enlighten the members.
