Volunteer service is fine and admirable, but during his presidential campaign Obama proposed mandatory service rivaling the military in size and scope. Rangel, in his newly proposed bill, has proposed making national service compulsory. Slavery ended after the Civil War. Drafting every citizen between the age of 18 and 42 into compulsory service is very wrong. We are, or once were, a free people. We are not compelled to labor for our government. We don't need neighborhood cadres.
