How National Service Would Close The Divide In America
“CBS NEWS” By Gen. Stanley McChrystal (Retired)
“Young Americans come together for a year or two and work in efforts as varied as healthcare, education, conservation, the military, or other community projects. They work alongside other serving fellow citizens, learning about each other – and themselves.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________
“Political divisions are tearing our nation apart. Perhaps not since the last decade before our Civil War have differing perspectives so threatened the very fabric of American society. Many of us have seen similar forces in places like Iraq and Afghanistan produce unspeakable pain and tragedy and know that something must be done. But what?
My military career taught me that young Americans, recruited from every corner of our nation, representing different races, religions, incomes, and accents can be brought together under a single flag, for a common purpose, and do great things. During the Depression they built roads, parks and other things that have contributed to every generation that followed. When World Wars I and II erupted, they united to protect not only America, but the world. They came together as diverse as our society, and built bridges, not just over rivers, but also to fellow citizens.
Their greatest contribution was not any physical structure; it was in shaping themselves into what Tom Brokaw so aptly described as the “Greatest Generation.” I might simply call them good citizens.
We can, and must, do that again, by harnessing the power of letting young Americans serve something bigger than themselves.
We can do it through what is often called national service. It is a simple concept: Young Americans come together for a year or two and work together in efforts as varied as healthcare, education, conservation, the military, or other community projects. For that period of their lives, before they go on to jobs, school, or family life, they work alongside other Young Americans serving fellow citizens and learning about each other – and themselves.
So, how could this work? First, it exists today in the many programs like AmeriCorps, City Year, and Vista, but needs to be expanded. A public/private partnership providing essential funding for stipends and other needs, creating programs and opportunities, and establishing a set of supporting policies – like educational grants and job placement for national service “veterans” – is needed. It costs money and takes effort, but the benefits of producing better citizens who are more connected to each other would be worth any amount.
And the time to get serious is now.”

You know, if Singapore was truly serious about boosting the birthrate they'd introduce National Service for women (not just the men). I figure, there would be a sizable percentage of women who believe that taking on a lifetime commitment was preferable to taking on a two-year commitment.

So young men (of all colors) are leaning towards the #fascist orange buffoon: they don't appreciate service to their country; they don't understand honor and loyalty; they missed basic civics; they are hoodwinked by #populist hate; they don't believe in #Democracy or #TheConstitution... so bring back #NationalService: give these miscreants a purpose

#Trump has signaled that #ChrisMiller, if there is a 2nd term, might reprise his role as #DefSec, a powerful post w/sway over the #Pentagon. Though Trump has not publicly endorsed the #HeritageFoundation doc, he did embrace many of their proposals at the outset of his 1st term.
In an interview, Miller said a #NationalService requirement would be “strongly considered.” He described it as a “rite of passage,” that would create a sense of “shared sacrifice”…

The irony won't be lost on most people of a Tory PM calling for national service while he himself is unable to attend a commemoration with other world leaders.
Scotland and Wales can do better.

National Service. Now the aim of our patrol is a question rather droll, for to march and drill over vale and hill is a military goal. #election #RishiSunak #nationalservice

Here I knowingly trigger Godwin's law, but honestly #Sunak saying "service gives you purpose" conjures up a world where the next conservative slogan is about to be "work sets you free".
There are so many better angles to frame #nationalservice, something I'm not inherently opposed, but his work I just feel its a little too right-wing dystopia for my tastes.
He really does need a new campaign manager. I look forward to tomorrow's daily mash. I might have made a mockup for #theonion

That's... interesting as the shower in the UK government are proposing reintroducing compulsory service, after 40 years of slashing and slashing nutrition programmes.
Guess that's just reality having a left wing bias eh?

CW: UK Election
It's clear that Sunak's electoral strategy is to go all out for courting the elderly, and just take it for granted that young people won't vote.
Next week I'm expecting some announcements on policies that will inflate house prices and benefit home owners at the expense of renters.
Young people: show him he's wrong, and register to vote.
