  1. May be they are trying to solve the unemployment problem!

    Better to offer this service opportunity to those who run out of unemployment benefits!

  2. Don't the royals gets special protection? They don't to go to war if they don't to! They join out of tradition.

    Many people worship royalty. I despise bloodsuckers!

    "May be they are trying to solve the unemployment problem!"
    if so this is a socialist mentality. you don't solve unemployment by creating more government jobs. you create jobs by creating conditions for a dynamic private sector

    what happens to these people after national service. who will hire them?
    not a private employers who will assume they picked up poor work habits working for the gov't.

  5. When John Kerry was campaigning against George W Bush, the leftists were saying Bush wanted to reinstate the draft.

    Now the truth is out. Charles Rangle and the Democrats are gonna draft your boys and send them to war. The Democrats who hate the military get to be Commander-in-Chief.

    Me? This former Marine is too old to be going into any expeditions.

    Outstanding! I miss wearing the red and gold, but not all of the "vacations" that came with it.

  9. Many countries require 2-year mandatory "service" for both young men and women. Not a bad idea, really. Either serve in the military, VISTA, or Peace Corps.
