Rangel voted against his own ‘reinstate the draft’ legislation.

And I’ve never heard of the General quoted.

I’d be at the recruiting station before my phone could ring.

They'd have you in uniform before the door shut.

Military doesn’t want/need elderly new enlisted folks...they would be too hard to break down and follow as the younger guys are...

Lute and Rangel - joined at the hip. All that’s needed to know about Lute.

Maybe that’s why he was minimized to his position as “War Czar.”

Read back...I said if it ever hit the fan in a big way, I am talking multiple war fronts, multiple attacks, etc... Yes they would take anyone that could walk, drive, or shoot a weapon.

Yes.

But being drafted isn’t a death sentence.

It could well be an economic one for older people that have economic obligations.
