I'm not talking about a draft. Rather a national policy of all young people entering into some form of federal service upon graduation from high school which lasted until they turned 21. No deferments for college, rich and poor alike would have to contribute to making the country a better place for 2-3 years whether they served in the military, public works (building bridges and dams), working in a hospital or nursing home. Something that gave back a little bit, I feel that too many of our young citizens are growing up to be takers and don't feel a need to help contribute anything for the priviledges they are born to by living here.
