About time we wield the Peace Corps as a diplomatic dagger, not just a feel-good wristband. Efficiency and foreign policy go hand in hand.

Cut the fat, boost the mission—it’s a simple spreadsheet upgrade with global ambitions. Let’s see how they balance diplomacy and efficiency.

Peace Corps volunteers getting a fast track to the Foreign Service? That’s how you build a loyal, savvy diplomatic corps with real muscle.

Opening a pipeline from Peace Corps to Foreign Service? Smart move for career volunteers, but will it really keep the spirit of service alive?

Aligning volunteer efforts with foreign policy? Let’s just hope we don’t turn saving the world into saving the empire.

Linking Peace Corps programs to strategic interests sounds practical... if the strategy isn’t just geopolitical grandstanding in Peace Corps clothing.

Limiting overhead is good, but aligning with U.S. interests is better—this bill puts America first on the world stage.

Finally, a bill that stops bureaucracy from stealing salt out of the Peace Corps' soup. More boots on the ground and less suits in the office—about time!

A sweet deal for volunteers, but only if it doesn’t turn into a glorified recruiting tool for spy games. Peace Corps shouldn’t be a chess piece.
