Many professionals today don’t make what their counterparts made ten years ago, but the cost of their education is greater than ever. We’ve spoken to many people with large student loan debts and have found them hungry for the chance to save through serving by joining the Army in Waiting.
That’s the beauty of this. Everyone can work together and everyone is better off. It’s great business practice and great American practice. No one has to lose for everyone to win. This isn’t a Democratic or Republican strategy, a liberal or conservative strategy. It’s an American strategy of collaboration that’s always worked in times of national challenge.
If this ends up helping Americans, it’s because this is a humanitarian movement, not a political movement. People from every major political philosophy can work hard to alleviate their own challenges and the needs of those in their community.
