        We will not have a cohesive nation unless our young men and women serve at the crossroad of need. The only debate is who gets the most benefit from the experience-those who receive the need or provide the service. I believe the latter.

        I thought a huge point of America was to getting rid of nobility.

        Only getting rid of nobility by birth, not by money.

        Not to mention service is a great way to get exposure to and humanize people who might not be part of your bubble.

        Like the quote. Remain a 'republican' in the Rousellian-European sense. While not a question when Herr Doktor Buckley had network airtime, what are the women to do in this governance model he do artfully proposed? Note: Switzerland did not allow women to vote until 1976.
