Mandantory National service..sounds like Germany all over again

Democratic Congressional Campaign Chairmen Rahm Emmanuel and Democratic Leadership Council President Bruce Reed are proposing mandatory national service for all Americans 18 to 25 years old. The two men have published a book together called The Plan in which Emmanuel calls for “a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us by establishing, for the first time, an ethic of universal citizen service. All young Americans should be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic civil defense training and community service… Universal citizen service will bring Americans of every background together to make America safer and more united in common purpose.”
