Former Clinton Administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich recently called on the government to force young people to spend two years either “serving” in the military or performing some other type of government-directed “community service.” Neoconservative Senator John McCain has introduced legislation creating a mandatory national service program very similar to Reich’s proposal. It is not surprising that both a prominent progressive and a leading neocon would support mandatory national service, as this is an issue that has long united authoritarians on the left and right.
Proponents of national service claim that young people have a moral obligation to give something back to society.
The very worst form of national service is, of course, the military draft [Einberufungsbefehl], which forces young people to kill or be killed on government orders. The draft lowers the cost of an interventionist foreign policy because government need not compete with private employers for recruits. Anyone who refuses a draft notice runs the risk of being jailed, so government can provide lower pay and benefits to draftees than to volunteers.

Aus dem Artikel:
Verdächtig still ist es derzeit um die Schuldenobergrenze in den USA: Seit dem 16. März sind die Vereinigten Staaten faktisch pleite. Will man einen „Government Shutdown“ verhindern, bei dem die Regierungsgeschäfte praktisch vollständig zum Erliegen kommen, hilft nur noch eine Anhebung dieser Obergrenze.
