It’s really simple: If you don’t serve, you don’t vote. If you’re not willing to put the nations needs ahead of your own, you shouldn’t be trusted to put the nations needs ahead of your own. Being a citizen should have meaning.

Instead we can’t find enough people to serve while our government forces those who do to pay off the debt of unwilling college students who serve nobody but themselves. Utterly perverse.

Young men today generally suck and need the opportunity to be liberated from their parents, hometowns, and screens with national service.

And women,too. Make other people, not selfies, the focus of their young lives.
