Buttigieg to Unveil National Service Program

“Pete Buttigieg is proposing a massive expansion of national service programs in a bid to help unify Americans and bring people from different backgrounds together,” Reuters reports.

Said Buttigieg: “National service can help us to form connections between very different kinds of Americans, as was my experience in the military. I served alongside and trusted my life to people who held totally different political views. You shouldn’t have to go to war in order to have that kind of experience, which is why I am proposing a plan to create more opportunities for national service.”

Politico: “The ultimate goal of the plan is to set up a pipeline for as many as 4 million high school graduates every year to do a national service program.”
