Under the plan, new AmeriCorps volunteers could sign up for duties linked to homeland defense.

Let's not beat around the bush Johnny boy, let's just call it the New McHitler Youth Corps!

The kids can wear McBrown shirts, salute their leaders and say "McSeig heil", McTurn in their parents and neighbors and every two weeks they can pick up their McPaychecks for their McVoluntary service.

I like saying "liberal pukes," do you?

It has been two years since the letter to the editor was printed. My son probably has a copy in his scrapbook. I'll ask him at dinner tomorrow night. He's doing his Marine Corps Reserve weekend warrior activities this weekend. I promised to take him to dinner tomorrow night. He expects to earn his "grey" belt for martial arts skills in the Marine Corps this weekend. He earned the "tan" belt in combat training. The "green" belt takes a trip to Quantico.

If it's compulsary , then it is NOT voluntary , and therefore , the whole thing is a lie; and a whopper !

This whole thing is madness. Everyone will have to get along ? That is crazy ; no one will " have to get alone " , and the only " mixing " will be middle - upper class kids doing menial takes with / for the under class , because they are ordered to. That teaches / instills nothing at all. One has to want to help, in order for it to be meaningful .

McNasty is even MORE insane, than ever !

"...expects to earn his "grey" belt for martial arts skills in the Marine Corps this weekend." Once again, good for him. Sounds like a fine young man.

He definitely earned his grey belt this weekend. He was moving a bit carefully Sunday evening at dinner. Just a bit sore and stiff after a very active weekend.
