Yes, it could be arriving in your neighborhood some time next year - just as strong, just as well funded as the US military (now that is a ton of money)....
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
And, the will be a place for everyone here.....
"People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve."
Voters haven't paid much attention to his "Service" plan because the old news media has ignored it. That will likely continue, even though Obama attached an approximate price tag to it in Colorado Springs. When Obama said that the "civilian national security force" would be just as "well-funded" as the Armed Forces, he stepped squarely into the giant sandbox and played with the big numbers. As the late Carl Sagan said, "billions and billions" of dollars.
Get ready to serve!
PS - apparently BO plans to cut back the US military to fund this force.....
Please join me in assuring that CobraBill, Excaliber amd VRM secure appropriate places first in line.
