“Article 42
“Citizens of the People’s Republic of China have the right as well as the duty to work....Work is the glorious duty of every able-bodied citizen....”

And nobody - NOBODY - gets an exception or a deferral. I think MNS is a bad idea, but if they’re gonna do it, make it for 2 years and everybody plays. One year is just long enough to do 2 months of training, 3 months figuring out how to do the job well and efficiently one you get to your duty station, 4 months of actual work and 2 months of “redeployment”/outprocessing. Insufficient ROI.
This has got to be one of the dumbest ideas humanly possible. It’s the left’s greatest fantasy playing out. Those that don’t want college brainwashing get this crap.
Each male kid receives rudimentary survival training for a certain area like forest, jungle, desert, mountain. The kid is then turned lose in an area for 30 days. The ones that make it back are finished with national service; the ones that do not make it back are also finished. The survivors now know they are men. Some similar ordeal for females to know they are women. Else we just raise a bunch of misfits who have no idea who they are or what they are capable of achieving.
GAY.
I’m a bit confused how the writer begins with “our country is broken” so the logical step to fix it is to FORCE every 18 year old to “volunteer”? IMHO... that will only break it more. Stupid, stupid idea.
You can be sure - like politicians - Niel Patel (author of article) - or his relatives and loved ones - won’t be subjected to mandatory government service.
Won’t work in the military these days either - no defined enemy, no purpose for the current wars, no definition of what a “win” looks like. Why risk your life for that?
The government knows with mandatory conscription there will be fragging, just as there was during Viet Nam.
BS
Yes, instead of sending your kids to the military, government will force you to send send them to BLM camps, climate change corps, or the gay pride brigade
Another pagan dipshit who thinks he can bring third world ideas to make America better. Sick and tired of Indians. Passive aggressive assholes.
Junk sociology and right from the Left wing.
Neil Patel was Tucker Carlson’s roommate at Georgetown?
Compulsory public service of any kind has no place in a free nation.
If this country is coming apart at the seams, then forcing people to serve together in some kind of useless capacity isn't going to fix anything. The "mandatory national service" will become nothing more than a tool to force a political agenda on masses of people who have no interest in it.
Antifa and BLM will (and Karens) will LOVE this...NOT...sooo...cmon Dems...propose it
No it would not. It would be as stupid as the team building exercises that corporations put their workers through. Nice to play with peoples lives like they are toys to enact out your ideas on how to create National unity/s. POTUS Trump had the right idea on how to create unity...improve the lives of all Americans, create opportunities for them to prosper & show patriotism.
What, and give the liberals a mandatory homosexual indoctrination camp??
This is just such a wet liberal idea. So touchy feely. So useless except in the mind of the author who has the idea that the State owns the lives of the citizens and can move them around so they get the experiences the State wants them to have.
The capital should rotate amongst regions and states. That lib boat anchor should be passed around to everyone treading water. If they want the higher pay and benefits federal employees should be rootless gypsies living and working out of tent cities, as well as all the private infrastructure that serves them.
Freegards
How ridiculous. You must really want to destroy our Nation’s scientists, inventors, doctors etc. After two years of mindless busy work who is going to pass the courses in college. How many entrepreneurs won’t get started?
Delaying people’s lives by a year or two means that the years before family responsibilities are shaved. Those years are the ones that set the pace for lifetime achievement.
Why don’t you do your service first and stop thinking about involuntary servitude of young people who haven’t even voted in the policy? This is communism by another name and anti American in the extreme. Who are you to think you own other peoples lives?
Yeah...no. I don’t want my kids to be forced to “work” with queers and marxists.
