Along With An ‘Economic Stimulus Package’ Charlie Rangel Plans To Put People Back To Work With A Military Draft Reinstatement
Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
... jackass just doesn’t get it …
No one in the modern US military wants to fight beside some hairless punk-ass kid who was dragged kicking and screaming by law enforcement to boot camp. Our volunteer military is doing just fine.
Besides, I thought Obama and the democrats were going to yank us our of Iraq and then A-stan shortly after that …
So, why do we need a fucking draft if there’s to be no war?
Huh, Charlie?

Rangel To Reintroduce Military Draft Measure
Democratic Underground Latest Breaking News —
... not support the draft and that the Democratic leadership would not back Rangels legislation. She also said Rangels legislation was not about reinstating the draft but was instead a way to make a point about social inequality. Reintroducing the military draft bill, which would attract media attention, will be trickier for Rangel in 2009 than it was a couple years ago because the Ways and Means Committee chairman is now under investigation by the House ethics committee.

Rangel To Reintroduce Draft Resolution
A Blog For All —
It's like clockwork (or paying taxes on April 15), except that Charlie Rangel has a way of avoiding the latter. The detestable and ethically challenged Democrat from Harlem continues his assault on the military by pushing forward with an idea to reestablish the draft , even as the military repeatedly has stated that a draft is not only necessary but counterproductive to the mission of training and deploying highly motivated soldiers, sailors, and Marines. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) likely will introduce his controversial legislation to reinstate the draft again this year, ...
Draft Card Redux
The Corner on National Review Online —
Thursday, January 15, 2009 [image] Draft Card Redux [ James S. Robbins ] It is interesting to see Rep. Charles Rangel raising the issue of military conscription again. Back i n 2006, I wrote : One is left thinking that the draft proposal is simply political theater, a means of generating debate based on misimpressions and social myths. There will never be enough votes to actually bring back conscription, that is not the point. This issue will be a rallying point for the antiwar wing of the party, and a nuisance to the equivocators. It will be an interesting ...

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) likely will introduce his controversial legislation to reinstate the draft again this year, but he will wait until after the economic stimulus package is passed.
Asked if he plans to introduce the legislation again in 2009, Rangel last week said, “Probably … yes. I don’t want to do anything this early to distract from the issue of the economic stimulus.”
I can’t imagine that his fellows would pass this, but I can’t imagine anything that would guarantee Obama and the Democrats ...

Concerning Democratic plans to bring back the military draft?
Of course, it bears remembering that we encountered this kind of commentary when the suspicion was that the Bush Administration would bring back the draft, but the Administration never made any moves to do so–not that this lack of Administration action did anything to cause its critics and accusers to admit error. Those same critics and accusers will likely not say anything now that a Democratic Congressional effort is being made to resurrect the draft, notwithstanding the fact that ...
