What are people's thoughts on a draft? What about required civil service?
I actually think that compulsory civil service would not be a bad idea at all. If the government required 2-4 years of civil service in one of several fields I think that it could help the population, our economy, and our national unity. Required civil service could range from military to education to community service. Many European countries have similar policies and from what I've seen I think that they are effective and helpful programs for the nation and for helping the youth direct their lives.
