Finally
I was very happy to see this article where Obama brings up the notion that the nations populace will have to become involved and make actual sacrifices to turn our country around. After watching Ken Burn's The War I was amazed at how much the general population of the US sacrificed in the name of the war. Recycling drives, rationing, volunteer work, etc. I think it would be a much easier sell when everyone had someone they knew either deployed or with a relative deployed, and the thinking was if you are using more than your share you were taking away from the effort.
I hope that the organization behind the notion are capable of making use of sacrifices and efforts by the general populace, so we don't think that change will magically happen as we lead our everyday lives. And hopefully the notion can come to fruition without overt abuse.
