There he goes again... Rangel pushes for re-instatement of the Military Draft
From Eric Dondero:
Disgraced Democrat Congressman from NYC, Rep. Charlie Rangel is pushing once again for a military draft of male 18 - 25 year olds.
From TheHill.com "Rangel renews call for military draft" Dec. 7:
"It's abundantly clear that everybody does not assume the same sacrifices, whether we're talking about taxes or loss of life.On the other end of the spectrum, libertarian Republican Reps Dana Rohrabacher and Ron Paul introduce legislation annually to abolish Selective Service. Each year, the bill has gained more and more co-sponsors.
"I submit that we have to have a draft … not a plea for those people who for economic reasons have to protect themselves," Rangel added.
A draft, he said, would ensure that all Americans participate in decisions to go to war, not just those who "for economic reasons find themselves in communities with the highest, the very highest unemployment."
