Rather this than a military draft, but-- I am opposed to required anything. Our high school has always demanded 100 hours community service to graduate and I spoke against it, even though the boys easily had several times that because of their own chosen activities. Mandatory is not the tone to set for bringing in willing participants. Now that I think about it, the fact that our well-off school required so many hours smacked a bit of noblesse oblige. Or is this a good thing? Will think about it. I prefer setting the example and offering opportunities for voluntary service and hope that's the direction the Obama admin takes.
