Obama's plan for "defense" you work for free

In obama's plan for defense he writes:

"Create a Civilian Assistance Corps (CAC): An Obama administration will set a goal of creating a national CAC of 25,000 personnel. This corps of civilian volunteers with special skill, sets (doctors, lawyers, engineers, city planners, agriculture specialists, police, etc.) would be organized to provide each federal agency with a pool of volunteer experts willing to deploy in times of need at home and abroad. "

Barack Obama | Change We Can Believe In | Defense

Do you see this actually happening, and what pitfalls might be found when he tries to implement this?

Yeah.

USA Freedom Corps - Make a Difference.* Volunteer.

But that's different, right?

Not sure. I do know I haven't seen any threads by you or any of the other right-wingers condemning it.

I wonder why that is?

Do I see whats happening? You mean that Obama is trying to encourage people to volunteer to help their country during emergencies? Yes, yes I do. Why don't you tell us what pitfalls you're afraid of.

It's obvious this program would work much better if we threw a lot of money at it.

Highly disingenuous that you'd take the creation of a volunteer corps and label it as an entire plan for defense. It's like saying that Bush's faith based initiatives = his entire platform.

Where have I done this? When I state "in obama's plan" I indicate the exact opposite of what you accuse me of.
