Step Up For Your Country
The general who led U.S. forces in Afghanistan makes the case for national service and the ‘basic responsibilities of being an American.’
I don't have anything new to say here. I don't see National Service as being compatible with true relocalization efforts. There can be a "national," that is nation-wide, mobilization of young people to learn new skills and promote sustainable living in their communities, and if such knowledge does not exist there, then they can go to other areas to learn it. But having another bureaucratic machine at the "Federal" level? I say no.
He should have stuck to the Army. I hope he's not thinking of running for office.
