I don't know if anyone's heard about this but apparently Obama has been trying to sneak in measures to create a Congressional Commission on Civil Service into some of the recent house resolutions. He tried to put it into HR 1388 but the whole section was removed shortly before passing. Now its back in HR 1444 which will probably pass very soon.

Here are two important parts

(5) The effect on the Nation, on those who serve, and on the families of those who serve, if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service.

(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

I haven't heard anything about this on any major news network and I don't understand how this could possibly be interpreted as being inconsequential. Does Obama actually think people are just gonna go for this without any sort of resistance?
