Oh, it will be couched in terms of “If you want X, then you have to give (or do) Y.”

Want to graduate middle school or high school? You have to serve.

Want money for college? You have to serve.

Want to get a driver’s license, use the library, get your Social Security check? Show your certificate of service completed.

Those last examples may be extreme…but not impossible. He’s definitely on retirees to “serve.”

And then there’s always the “America” card to play: “When you choose[?] to serve…you are connected to that fundamental American ideal…”

If you choose to not serve, you’re unAmerican.

Unity…or else.

I wonder what will be considered “community service” exactly…
