You know what, I 100% agree with that statement. It doesn’t have to be military, but many countries have mandatory service usually right after high school.
I think it would instill a sense of responsibility towards their community, a sense of hard work, pride, etc. I’m talking about like working in a park, wildlife clean-up, homeless shelter food stocking, and yes also military. I don’t think the military part should be mandatory, but if some people want to go that route as their “national service” then that should be an option.
We have already made it extremely hard to be a young adult in this country, why not add an extra helping of shit on their plates, to make older people feel better about their choices, eh?
I say let the wealthy and people with net worth over 1 million contribute this mandatory service. They’ve screwed this country up, lets see them do their share for the community for once in their charmed lives. Give the Jared kushners and effing pickelball players some tongs to pick up trash and string them together in a chain gang if we have to.
Sure, the wealthy need to pay for what they’ve done to society, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
Also in that same vein, any federal politician in the House, Senate, Executive, or SC should have to live for 2 months on minimum wage in a probationary period. Until they complete that “course”, they won’t be able to ascend to their elected position. So like, if they’re elected in November, then they live for December and January on minimum wage, which then gives them the certification needed to be sworn in.

Yes a civic service duty would be helpful, but I’m not sure making it mandatory would work out unless it were presented as one of several options.
