Chief of staff for Obama is interviewed about Mandatory Civil Service, for 18 - 25 year old people.
The key word is ... mandatory. Why wasn't this sensationalized in the media?
Now I know all you obama bots will scream that I'm some sort of what ever, and I know you neo and theocons will scream that you were right all along.
in b4 partisan labels, and bullshit bickering.
EDIT: According to other sights they changed it to voluntary civil service. Obama needs to reign in his aids, and square that shit out lest he lose support from real patriots.

there were absolutely no specifics given except an age range and a 3-4 month time period tossed out there, so until we know what the goals of the venture are, who the exceptions are (women?), etc. etc., i'm not even the slightest bit concerned.
that said, i have a friend from germany and a friend from syria who did mandatory military positions when they were around 18-20 years old, and they both have fun stories about it. certainly wasn't something they regret.
The right to choose whether you have to do something is what this country was founded on, and its why our founding fathers and soldiers fought for.
Compulsory service, is not OK. I will not be forced to wear a uniform that I do not endorse.
We had this discussion already, the subject was the draft.

They are using Draft Laws to squirm about here.
(Ill godwin it, and add some japanese to it)
We already have a national guard, and militias, what do we need an American version of the Hitler youth, or the Kempetai running around?
I'm holding out hope that the 50 hours per year required of middle- and high-schoolers will also count as an education credit, because a $12,000 education credit, coupled with continued service throughout college, would be a tremendous benefit to students who might otherwise never be able to go to college.
That said, I'm a little nervous about the service as well...I want to see what will come of it, but Obama has expressed interest in this being like Americorps or the Peace Corps...that's hardly the Hitler Youth.
