Tonight, Barrack Obama and John McCain joined a CNN crew at Columbia University to talk about, among other things, the idea of a "national service" initiative. Unlike many countries, the United States does not have a service requirement, military or civilian, and McCain and Obama both spoke very strongly in favor of establishing one.
What do you think? Do you believe that young people ought to be required to serve upon graduating from high school? Should high school graduates have to serve in exchange for scholarship aid? Should tuition loans be forgiven in exchange for military or civilian service? How will this initiative impact our families, economy and country?
