Two Years Mandatory Service Either in the Military or the Peace Corps |
||||||||
Bush's military faces a problem ot dwindling recruitment numbers. Before the 21st oentury, the United States had never struck first in war. Unfortunately, Bush changed that, and in doing so damaged Americas reputation abroadd. Reagan, saw that it was as far as it goes in very infinite strikes abroad. JFK had it right when he said. ‘Iet us never fear to negotiate, but never negotiate out of fear.' JFK saw the Peace Corps as way to renew hope among the impoverished nations of the world. I think that the draft should be reinstituted in the form of two |
years of mandatory military service, which makes a youth into a responsible citizen. However, for a person morally opposed to military senrice, there should be an altemate option of serving two years in the Peace Corps. Either way, the youth will grow immensely and gain compassion and reason. Americans need to start finding the time in our busy lives to help the less fortunate.
If every young person spent even a month living abroad the experience could be life changing. |
