Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) on Friday said he plans to introduce legislation that would bring back the military draft and extend it to women for the first time.
Rangel, who has pushed for years to bring back the draft, said the Pentagon’s decision to allow women to serve in combat means that they too should register for the Selective Service.

1. To use the military as a federal work program
2. To make the use of force less and less likely.
If you want to increase the birth rate, start drafting women.
I have a better idea: How about he draft legislation that would require him to go to jail when he commits a crime?
Although I am opposed to women being in front line combat units, if they want equality, then so be it. Draft away....
To make the ‘80’, the fraudsters took a ‘2008’ date stamp, cut off the ‘20’ and turned the ‘08’ upside down to make the ‘80’.
the rounder stamps are reset every day at the post office.
it is odd the 19 is missing, but honestly it is not “shocking” given the history of postal workers.
About time! Too many women sitting on the sidelines saying “Whatever” about women in the military. Make them all register for the draft. Let them know that if there’s a big war, we’ll be drafting lots of people for the Infantry. Give them all camouflage prom dresses. They have kids? Who cares. You want equality, here it comes. Women can take a bullet in the head as well as a man can.
“Do you think this body armor makes me look fat?”
Shouldn’t 0bama had signed the SSC before the date stamp and not after? Why is there always an explanation for the various anomalies in 0bama’s records?
This should go over well with the Obama-voting “It’s MY vagina” types
I remember someone telling me once, that when somebody writes very small, they either have a very low opinion of themselves or are hiding something.
Looking at that form, if I was filling it out, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind I would have written my name so that it would have taken up almost the entire space. What’s his excuse?
Women SHOULD be required to sign up for the Selective Service.
You want to march around with short hair, covered with tattoos, and hairy legs like you are some tough bad ass? Then sign up for the draft!
Oh, and.. Notice that the postal inspector checked off “NO I.D.” in the date stamp box as well.. Normal too?
Personally I want little fat people (Rangel especially) to lead any army as they make GREAT targets.
If we had an army of fat idiots that would wear down the enemy quicker, waste their ammo - then those of us who know what we are doing could totally destroy the enemy who by that time is bored, tired and about out of ammo.
Most everyone is missing the point in Rangel’s repeated calls for a draft.
We don’t need to draft anyone for our military readiness. The all volunteer force is a success. Having conscripts is a recipe for disaster — which is Rangel’s real objective.
He doesn’t give a damn about military readiness — he’s simply trying to create an anti-war movement by calling for a draft.
Stalin would be proud!
You are correct - if we were to return to a conscript army, then the doctrine and weapons systems of the existing army would need to be completely re-vamped.
Rangel’s proposal is profoundly unserious, as I am sure he knows.
Personally, I think that fat, dogfaced, black racists should be placed on the frontlines before women are.
