Talk about hyperbole!
By December 1936, HJ membership stood at just over five million. That same month, This legal obligation was re-affirmed in 1939 with the Jugenddienstpflicht and HJ membership was required even when it was opposed by the member's parents. From then on, most of Germany's teenagers belonged to the HJ. By 1940, it had eight million members. Later war figures are difficult to calculate, since massive conscription efforts and a general call-up of boys as young as ten years old meant that virtually every young male in Germany was, in some way, connected to the HJ. Only about 10 to 20% were able to avoid joining.
The three months in a camp will be "To Get You Mind Right"??? I'm sure the indoctrination proceedings at these camps will be very interesting to a constitutionist!
Hello!!! To you and all other posters espousing that voluntary work is going to do our youth a world of good. Well I agree!

OK World Nut Daily for a start.
Secondly the audio clip iS very heavily edited, and in the part where he is going to say Baraks or at (home) the at home is cut out.
The details of this need to be looked at, if it means everyone in the US has to spend 3 months between the ages of 18-25 doing voluntary work in local charity hospitals, or if they can help in schools, clean up graffiti....
Well if they are gang banging anyhow, or unemployed, depending on certain parameters as mentioned below it is not a bad idea.
I have not read the proposed legislation though, so the specifics are very important indeed,
3 months at any time between 18-25... broken up? 1 month every year or two....
2 hours a week?
Or a choice to go and do 3 months instead in one place?.
Indeed the way World Nut Daily portray this it is very worrying but I will as shown above reserve my condemnation, which would viterol, all inclusive and very very loud if it is a kind of "Hitler Youth" of any type at all....
But in the mean time it may be a good idea... like said for hospitals, community work, staying at home, giving the coming 15% of unemployment or higher in the US education and references experience may not be a bad thing.
The important thing is the ability of the individual to tailor the service to their needs or likes and dislikes, to fit in with their and their families career and education and care needs...
Lets wait and see, I really cant see any type of forced 3 months in a camp ever being accepted in the US anyhow.
Elf.
How do you get VOLUNTARY out of the word MANDATORY?? You CAN't!! what you are talking about is SLAVE LABOR!! And if you are O.K. With this, then you have NO business even calling yourself an AMERICAN.
Hey, you voted him in power.

The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a
staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or
less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama
campaign has identified.
It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded
into the U.S. election system, before or after the
McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.

What article did you guys read? I'm thoroughly confused about this reaction to a community service program. Explain it to me like I'm a five year old because I'm not seeing any reason to react so strongly and so negatively.
GOT DANG, thats one of the scaryiest vids I have seen so far. They are actually praising Obama as the one who gives them their dreams and they have done nothing to actually EARN that dream! What lunacy they perpetrate on the ignorant amongst us!
