<Why don't I up you one and call for mandatory service for every able bodied man and woman?? It doesn't even have to be military service, but medical students working off their service in low-income communities, or in the Peace Corps (which should be increased in size).>

Why not really get some patriotism and public spirit inculcated and start conscription and the draft for government service at age 15 and make it compulsory for everyone until age 80?

You and Geode are such liberal sissies. Enough of the freedom cant. Let's have some good old compulsion for the collective good. And no pay either. Room and food and a uniform is all people should want. And a little red book so they can chant the ideology correctly when called to kneel in obeisance towards Washington monument or the White House, or perhaps where the constitution is kept.

No, hang on, age 15 is far too old. Indoctrination from age 3 is much more effective.
