Only if they promise to risk their lives overseas for 5 years like the military academies at low pay. We don’t need no steekin academies to train arsesitting airconditioned 9 to 5ers.
Think about this...you already have tens of thousands of volunteer opportunities existing...most provide a stipend of a couple thousand dollars per year. You have universities all around the country for everyone to attend today, with various scholarships and grant chances existing. You can attend most community colleges for less than $3000 per year. Why would the federal government need to pour $1 billion into a new service “school”? Thinking of it being alot less? Nope...you have to construct a new school...which I’m betting it will be somewhere in NY state. Count up the high cost of construction. It’ll have to be housing and classes to take care of 5,000 students likely. It’ll take at least two years to plan this out and pick the likely site...add four years in for the classes and none of these students will be “placed” until midway through the second tour of Hillary. You won’t even know success or failure...for at least two or three more years...well after she is gone.
So what idiot would want this type of degree...from a gov’t run school? The name on the degree wouldn’t be UCLA, or AU or Brigham Young or Mississippi State. Most kids who might want to give a year of volunteer work...preferably within the borders of the US or maybe the Caribbean...aren’t going to be hot to go to Colombia or Venezuela or Peru for four years (yep....has to be the same commitment as the US GI). No fool is going to sign up for four years in some Philippine pit-hole, to get yellow fever twice or in Nigeria where they get bit by some 6-ft long snake. You will see droves of kids who quit at the end of twelve months. Special waivers will be created by the congress to get little Johnny out after twelve months. You can already see this coming. Less than a quarter of the graduates will complete 48 months with the program.
And what will you do with your vast experience and this gov’t degree after eight years? Think about that part.
So now we come to the fight. Hillary has to have congress pay for this...which both the democrats and republicans are going to bulk at. If she was talking of a scholorship program where every state university could get a bit of the funding and spread this around...that would be one thing...but not this kind of deal. This is a lame idea which even the media won’t touch for comment. It’ll sit there for six months in committee, with discussions on how to finance this...maybe 150 million per year...which won’t build hardly anything. Hillary is puffing up to the far-left social crowd and begging their votes. She knows this will never go through.
