So, it's all over the news. And it isn't anything new. A Draft!! A DRAFT! We're all going to be sent to Iraq!! OH NOES!! .. i submit that anyone who realistically thinks there will ever be a Draft again in the US is an idiot. There are so many social-political cons against it it's not even worth debate.
The incoming Chairman of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee and a Deputy Majority Whip, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has been on several TV spots spewing his thoughts about needing to enforce a Draft again. LOL! What a noob. He's even stated that if there were a draft, there would be less Afro-Americans, and minorities in the military..?? (apparently he doesn't know the stats of the serving military) He's feeding off of the ingnorance and fear of the American people. Seems he's taking John Kerry's 'joke' seriously.
In the video on hotair.com he's presented with FACTS that dispute his own words, and he denies it all. A true politician.
i'm off to California today to support my Nephew who is graduating from the Marine Corps on Friday. i've always respected the men and women in the military. i couldn't do it, but i'm very grateful that there are people who volunteer to fight on the front lines for justice and freedom for everyone in this world. To insinuate that the majority of those brave men and women are anything less than intelligent, career minded, and determined, is just plain unpatriotic, and borderline treasonous if you ask me.
