>>We all seemed to agree that there should be a mandatory service obligation for all US citizens at age 18. It could either be military service for 2 years (which educational benefits upon successful completion), Peace Corps, or a form of domestic CCC program where trained professionals, upon completion of college or training, are assigned to public works.<<

Only trouble is the "left" will scream its not fair to brainwash the young into military indoctrination...and the "right" will scream its not fair to brainwash the young Peace Corps members into helping the leftist rebels plant watercress in South America.

Hmmm...maybe seeing that all play out would be a great education for an eighteen year old after all.
