Draft! Yippy! It’s gotten a tad dull having the most professional and motivated military in history.
Rangel should try some Bean-O.
Look at the bright side; we’ll get to dump more of our spineless liberals on our socialist neighbors to the north.
Is this the “champion” that didn’t even vote for his own bill to reinstate the draft?
Rangel's playing of both the class and race cards is despicable. And he's playing to a constituency that actually believes that poor minorities are the only enlisted folks in the armed forces.
Just as long as the illegals get a draft card along with their illegal alien ID.
Yes, the uninformed. People like Rangel rely on the uninformed.
I'm a military history buff so please save your breath about draftees fighting in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. I know all that. This has nothing to do with draftees. It's about the destruction of our military and the United States.
Wrongo.
He has NO idea of what is facing the nation and the World.
Its about 1937 all over again, and things will start heating up very quickly over the next few months, in Iran.
Should there be a draft? Yes, if its needed to beat these Fascist Islamics back into the 12th Imam's well hole . where they all belong, for eternity.
According to Iran's rhetoric, that Iran will wipe Israel of the map, then lets try on the reciprocal statement:
Iran needs to be wiped off the map!
Hard words for hard times.
If it came to a vote Rangel would vote against a draft so fast and so hard it would make your head spin. Its just political grandstanding. There are good reasons not to have a draft but Rangel uses none of them.

Of course. A weak military is what anti-war surrrender monkey's like Rangel long for. The weaker we are the less ability we have to fight.
lol!
Let's see. Kerry had 4 deferments. Clinton just openly dodged the draft. Edwards somehow was never called. Chris Dodd served 6 years in the Reserves during Viet Nam. Hillary tried to enlist in the Marines, but those meanie Marines laughed at her because she wore glasses.
Incidentally, I don't believe Bush ever received a deferment, although I could be mistaken on that. Still, flight training in a fighter jet, even in the Air National Guard, doesn't quite seem like a deferement to me.
Im Trying to see Your point of View!
All you had to do was know a politician and get deferments.”

Bull$hit.
All you had to do was enlist before being drafted. Anyone could do it. No political connections required.
Charlie Rant-all is a fat lying Castro-loving unpatriotic bastard.
And if he waves his Korean War medals in my face, may The Force be with me such as I shall make him eat each medal, one by one, handstuffed down his vast prodigious gullet, fabric and metal together.
I don’t believe Mr. Rangel has been to many bases in the last 150 years. “Middle America” or “Fly Over Country” makes up a HUGE portion of the services.
