Stanley McChrystal: Every American Should Serve For One Year
Read HERE
"America needs a restart. It has long devoted its energies to solving its many big problems — unequal opportunity, crumbling infrastructure, lagging education, inadequate training in a changing economy and threats to peace around the world. But it has done so with tired methods. Simply doing more or less of what we have done in the past will not fix what the United States faces. Every solution requires more than another budget negotiation or Facebook post. Each also requires trust and consensus — the hard and disappearing work of democracy."
Questions
1) Who is General Stanley McChrystal and why does he have the right to say people have to serve?
2) What advantages do you see in this? What disadvantages?
3) General McChrystal says the work has been "done so with tired methods," the programs he's suggesting seem like the same things we're doing now (tutoring, skill retraining, etc). Do you agree, yes or no? Why?
4) Perfect world: Congress does the work that General McChrystal suggests, you're tapped to be the "volunteer czar."
a) How do you manage this influx of volunteers?
b) What programs or initiatives do you focus on?
c) What results do you want from each of the initiatives?
(Keep in mind how you answered question 4)
