...Good Luck, Chuck!!!
Once again, brilliant satire just a little too close to reality for my taste.
hmfph. Numbers of enlisted are over the expected mark and Rangel sees a draft as necessary. What a dolt.
Somebody needs to remind Chuck that Savior O takes office tomorrow, and world peace will come moments later.
So no need for the draft or the military. I’m bringing culture colored marsh mellows to the kumbaya campfire.
I make it a point to greet those I know who voted for the One. I tell them to be sure to tell their grand kids that their vote helped bring back the draft.
Attempting to build a defense force by random selection is illogical. It is like trying to build an Olympic team by similar methods. How well would we have done in Beijing if, rather than having Michael Phelps, we had sent in someone conscripted, given a bathing suit and a few lessons, then plunked down on a starting block?
It is also likely to cause dissension in the ranks, as they will see themselves as ‘losers in Life’s lottery’, rather than doing what they were meant to do
From the website of the Workers World Party:
"With his leadership, the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine. ...
Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ..."
With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party" (1994):

Photo of Charlie Rangel at the podium of a March 19th, 2005 Workers World Party/Troops Out Now rally in Harlem, New York. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. The photo comes from the Workers World Party website.
Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ.

idiots.
My kids will go to canada before they serve in Zerobama’s service.
Get you mind around that illogical BS if you can. What Rangel really wants is to get out of his tax mess. If Obama can do it for the Secretary of the Treasury, he can do it for a brother, a democrat, a valuable legislator. What's a little misprision of a felony among politicians.
I know the guy is an idiot but...
that is sooo out of touch it makes me wonder if he is from another planet?
I think Rangel has forgotten who was drafted during the Viet Nam war. It was primarily blacks and poor whites who couldn’t get college deferments.
Rangel may get drafted to serve at Ft. Leavenworth.
Reading your headline was like diving into the Arctic ocean headfirst. A most unpleasant shock to the system. However, your article eventually brought the feeling back to my extremities.
Many thanks for the rush! LOL
