Seven out of ten young americans are not eligible to enlist for variety of reasons. The number one is obesity, but there're other factors too, like drug use and tattoos. I would like to see it tested, i guess, on a small scale first. Any kind of national service, starting out with certain states as an experimental trial.
In this edition of Infinite Loops, we spoke with Rob Henderson. Rob is a veteran and a PhD candidate in Psychology, at the University of Cambridge. We talk about:
- Growing up in foster care and overcoming a "tough" childhood
- Role of a military stint in early adulthood
- Luxury beliefs
- Role of media in shaping identities
- America's export of cultural ideas
- and MUCH more!
