People need to realize that this is the same type of "service" plan that Israel has in place.
I find lots wrong with being "required" to perform service for your country . I do believe that
volunteerism should be highly encouraged BUT not forced on anyone by requiring it.
Think about all the problems that might occur with this plan... who would take care of the children that people between the ages of 18-25 might have. Some people are single parents at that time going back to college, holding down a job, raising their kids.
ETA: I am talking about what Rahm Emanuel mentioned in his book The Plan.
