President Nixon proposes a nationwide program akin to the Peace Corps to enlist millions as part time volunteers. The effort aims to help the disadvantaged rejoin mainstream American life and address social ills.
Trotsky shaped the Red Army as a workers and peasants force with a core of professional officers. Since 1918 leaders shifted power, and today all able-bodied males face 18-year-old conscription with liberal student deferments. Women serve 19 to 40. privates receive basic room, board, and a small pay. Food is sparse, with little variety, and only one weekly shower and no leave for soldiers.
The piece contrasts army life for conscripts with officer life in the Soviet forces. It notes strict discipline, shared early indoctrination, limited privacy, and low protest among soldiers. It mentions drinking problems off base, violent restraint, and the perceived allure of belonging to a powerful military structure.
