In his most recent Maher segment, he railed against Big Tech's contributions to gambling addiction among young men. There are young men who spend too much time on their phones—although teen girls are worse affected by this than men—and there are young men who fall prey to sports betting and gamble away their parents' life savings. But worse than his diagnosis of this supposed national malady afflicting young men is his bonkers—though familiar—solution: mandatory national service for young people. "I think mandatory national service would be hugely beneficial for patriotism, for America, and for young men and women," Galloway told Douthat. The idea that all young men should be forced, for some predetermined time period, to submit to national service is crazy, however.
