Some in the former president’s camp say it’s time more young adults put “some skin in the game.”

JD Vance appears to be in on requiring the kids of non-billionaires to serve in the military too:

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), a potential Trump running mate, said in an interview that he sees a clear need for measures to boost participation. “I like the idea of national service. And I’m not talking about in wartime,” he said, calling for more Americans to put “some skin in the game.”

      It would be far from “slavery” in the typical sense.

      If this happened, those people would get food, housing, healthcare and job training while getting paid for it.

      Though I’m definitely not in favor of conscription because how can you call yourself free if you’re required to do involuntary military work for the government.
