The "service" provided by the Amateur Radio Service
is a service provided *by* the federal government
*to* the citizens who meet the amateur radio licensing
requirements. There is no governmental requirement or
obligation that amateur radio operators render any public
service at all. Amateur radio licensees are not even
required to own a radio.

"Service", in this context, is just an administrative
division of government.

No, I am talking about the service we should be providing. In the spirit of
JFK's "ask not what your contry can do for you speech". You are correct that
there is no requirement as defined by law but there certainly is a moral one
that should be defined by your character.
