My response and interpretation came directly from watching the speech. I read nothing prior other than your post. I thought it was perfectly clear what Obama would like to see. Ideally, the same type of funding and resources provided to the military going into sponsoring larger participation from civilians dealing with homeland issues.

This is where the "comprehension" starts. The whole speech is about national service This is where his concept begins He's pointing out the need for other ways of serving our country and providing security of another kind- its future- that are not strictly military ---- >>>> Just as we must value and encourage military service across our society, we must honor and expand other opportunities to serve. Because the future of our nation depends on the soldier at Fort Carson, but it also depends on the teacher in East LA, or the nurse in Appalachia, the after-school worker in New Orleans, the Peace Corps volunteer in Africa, the Foreign Service officer in Indonesia. . .
