Gen. Stanley McChrystal on what would close the divide in America_我的网站

A |     Political divisions are tearing our nation apart. Perhaps not since the last decade before our Civil War have differing perspectives so threatened the very fabric of American society. Many of us have seen similar forces in places like Iraq and Afghanistan produce unspeakable pain and tragedy and know that something must be done. But what?My military career taught me that young Americans, recruited from every corner of our nation, representing different races, religions, incomes, and accents can be brought together under a single flag, for a common purpose, and do great things. During the Depression they built roads, parks and other things that have contributed to every generation that followed. When World Wars I and II erupted, they united to protect not only America, but the world. They came together as diverse as our society, and built bridges, not just over rivers, but also to fellow citizens.Their greatest contribution was not any physical structure; it was in shaping themselves into what Tom Brokaw so aptly described as the "Greatest Generation." I might simply call them good citizens.

     We can, and must, do that again, by harnessing the power of letting young Americans serve something bigger than themselves. We can do it through what is often called national service. It is a simple concept: Young Americans come together for a year or two and work together in efforts as varied as healthcare, education, conservation, the military, or other community projects. For that period of their lives, before they go on to jobs, school, or family life, they work alongside other Young Americans serving fellow citizens and learning about each other – and themselves.                 So, how could this work? First, it exists today in the many programs like AmeriCorps, City Year, and Vista, but needs to be expanded. A public/private partnership providing essential funding for stipends and other needs, creating programs and opportunities, and establishing a set of supporting policies – like educational grants and job placement for national service "veterans" – is needed. It costs money and takes effort, but the benefits of producing better citizens who are more connected to each other would be worth any amount.And the time to get serious is now.

。         A man in East China's Jiangsu Province who recently tried to swim across the Yangtze River to Shanghai to save travel costs is rescued by police. Photo: Screenshot from Jiangsu TVA man in East China's Jiangsu Province who recently tried to swim across the Yangtze River to Shanghai to save travel costs was rescued by police after drifting for nearly two hours in the busy shipping channel, exhausted and stricken with leg cramps, Jiangsu TV reported.
Police received a report around noon on August 4 that a man was swimming near a park, where heavy vessel traffic made the situation particularly dangerous. After a coordinated search by land and water, officers located the man, according to multiple media reports.
However, the man initially refused to board the police boat. Officers then learned that he intended to swim across the Yangtze River to Shanghai to avoid paying for transportation, according to Jiangsu TV.
The section of the Yangtze in Nantong is wide and has strong currents, while the main shipping channel is busy with passing vessels. The attempt posed serious risks not only to the man himself but also to the safety of vessels navigating the river, policemen said, per media reports.
After nearly 30 minutes of persuasion, the man finally abandoned his plan and boarded the police boat. He had by then spent about two hours in the water and was exhausted, suffering from severe leg cramps. Police officers provided him with food and water and took him to a police station to rest.
The police later identified the man as a native of Linyi, East China's Shandong Province, and found that he had a mental health condition. They contacted his family and the Nantong rescue center and arranged for him to undergo a psychiatric assessment.
His family subsequently took him back to Shandong and thanked the officers for rescuing him.
