The Wall Street Journal online has chosen to reprint my blog post on the reasons my mandatory “national service” proposals tend to target the young, despite the fact that there are at least equally good reasons for focusing on the elderly or the middle-aged instead. See here.
Unfortunately, the WSJ accidentally introduced a minor error that I would like to correct: The “Democratic Leadership Conference” is in fact the “Democratic Leadership Council” (I just had “DLC” in the original post, which may have led to the mistake when the WSJ staff spelled out the abbreviation).
