compulsory national service, eh? my ma grew up in communist russia. and when she hears obama speak all she can think of is the 1917 revolution and the Khrushchev speaking at the 20th congress of the communist party. is she right, i dont know. did i grow up in a communist country, no. i was born and grew up in nyc. but i do know that every russian i've talked to thinks obamas 'change' sounds like the hammer and they all waitin for the sickle.
