When I read a section of Obama’s “national service plan” to my wife last night, she said it reminded her of her childhood days in Vietnam. Children who enrolled in the the “Uncle Ho Youth” were rewarded with armbands and neckbands, and those who did not participate were socially marginalized. She was one of the few children in her class who didn’t join. She remembers the “Uncle Ho Youth” going about planting trees while chanting communist slogans.
