Sabato's "new ideas"

It is interesting that with Bryan Caplan's book setting the poli sci/econ world on fire recently we can have a look at what the other side is up to. Larry Sabato in an upcoming book makes various suggestions which I assume are designed to increase the public's role in civil society further.

One proposal that comes up periodically is that of mandatory public service for young people. This idea I have always found akin to consciption. Why is not going to college and/or contributing to the economy enough for young adults to do?
