There's been a resurgence of demands for "national service," calls for young people especially to give up a year or two of their lives to serve others, perhaps even to be mandated by law. It is claimed this will encourage an ethic of self-sacrifice and promote national unity. Join Ben Bayer and Agustina Vergara Cid for a critical discussion of these proposals from the perspective of Ayn Rand's ethics of rational selfishness.
