Would the two years of mandatory service include EVERYBODY in the US that didn't already serve -- not just teenage males? I wouldn't have a problem with such a proposal, although it pretty evident that family obligations would proclude it actually being workable. However, doesn't volunteer service in the communities also meet your suggestion? And I know that many couples, upon retirement, will sometimes join the Peace Corps in order to take their lifelong experience and share it with others in various countries. I'm a VERY BIG believer in the Peace Corps.. Absolutely invaluable. Hawk
