I'd consider our children doing something like for two years after high school as a good idea. I don't get mandatory volunteering, but the concept overall seems to have some merit.

Sure. We'll teach the little bastards what "volunteering" is all about. The best part about "mandatory volunteering" is that, by definition, you aren't "volunteering" for something you personally believe in.

Please note that the GIVE Act allows "volunteering" to include "assisting law enforcement". Also that there is no language banning political or semi-political activities. Now make it mandatory. HAW HAW!

No, teach them what service is all about.
And while we're at it, give them firearms training like Israel.
