NOW OF COURSE this is not true of all younger people, but enough that they make themselves known!! and that goes for the males and females, too!! WAY too many 'princesses' out there who think their shit doesn't stink and that EVERYONE owes them the world!! AGAIN, not all females, but sure as hell enough of 'em!! [/quote] Well said!!!

H.R. 748 would require all persons in the US 18-25 to perform 'national service'
These persons in the United States would either serve the country as a member of uniformed services or as civilian service. The civilian service could be served with a Federal, State, or local government program.
There has been speculation regarding President Obama’s “citizen army”. In 2008, President Obama made statements regarding a “civilian national security force”. Since that day, many have been curious as to what President Obama had in mind when he made that statement.
Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY13) may have just given a bit of insight into what was meant when he introduced H.R. 748 last week.
