16. Expanding national service opportunities is a good idea
I never would have joined the military when I was young, even though (or maybe because?) I'm from a military family. I didn't have the physical ability or the personality to deal with the authoritarianism.

But I would have done something like Americorps had it existed. Maybe something like that did exist, but if so, I didn't know about it. I think national service should be voluntary, but I also think it should be encouraged and rewarded.
