I completely agree. Having kids do service of different kinds as an obligation for their nation, religion, helping the poor in other nations, etc, would propel us forward as a nation. The sense of cohesion, of how you can make a difference in a bigger context, and get some discipline along the way, are really needed among our youth, and give us leaders in the future who are more grounded, less prone to shenanigans, and maybe better to work together for the betterment of their children.
