Mandatory Service idea?

a two year national service commitment would do much to improve our citizens and make them appreciate this country more IMO. It would also give them time to grow up and actually think as an adult when they begin making the decisions that will affect them the remainder of their lives. I'd allow those who volunteer to enter the military services with better incentives than those who want to do non-military service. Those not joining the military could do public works, mail sorting and delivery and other government and quas--govermental jobs that this country needs donw but now pays too much to get done. They should only go on to college after this two year service because mosy that go younger do not apply themselves and get the education they should from a university so lots of time is wasted by students, universities and our society.
