A reported possible Joe Biden vice presidential pick this week reiterated her support for a program that would require all Americans to dedicate time in service to their country, at least in a civilian capacity.
Susan Rice, former United Nations ambassador and national security adviser, said she believes a mandatory national service program would help to heal some of the nation's fractures along racial and economic lines. Speaking at an event organized by the congressionally created National Commission on Military, National and Public Service, Rice described her vision for this requirement.
"I wish we could have mandatory national civilian service in this country, so that every kid between the ages of 18 and 21 spent six or 12 months in national service, whether it's laying broadband or building infrastructure, or rehabilitating inner-city schools and libraries," she said. "The reason I think service is so important is, not only is it creating economic opportunity in training and skills for those who may not otherwise have them, but most importantly, it's teaching us to understand and to know each other as Americans across different geographic, racial, socioeconomic lines, as part of one nation and one community."
Rice noted that, in her family, national service was "in the breakfast food" growing up – her great-grandfather had been a slave who fought for the Union Army in the Civil War, and her grandfather was one of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, a group of Black Air Force pilots who served in World War II.
