It's a "little pie in the sky" idea but how in the world would it get implemented? Can you imagine the mess this would create? The draft was hard enough but this would be much worse. I'm old enough to remember the draft, the college exemptions, the moving to Canada, etc... And what is the supposed length of service? 3 months? Just how much can you learn in 3 months to help secure the nation? Whose going to pay for all of this???? Where will these volunteers live? How will they live for their allotted time? What if you are in jail? How about med school? The questions concerning this are endless. Not to mention whether or not it's even legal. What a mess!
