Every year he calls for a draft, and every year it gets shot down. And I doubt that we'll need the draft even with Syria, because we're drawing down troop numbers and in the administration's eyes, need something to do. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31977378 United States 09/06/2013 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to rangel.house.gov] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1399610 New York, NY - Congressman Charles B. Rangel issued the following statement regarding US involvement in Syria: "I strongly abhor and condemn the news that chemical weapons were reportedly used by the government of Syria. However, I strongly urge the President to seek an affirmative decision of Congress prior to committing any U.S. military engagement to this complex crisis. Before we commit our military personnel to another war, we must reinstate the draft. Reinstating the draft and requiring women to register for the Selective Service would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation. We must question why and how we go to war, and who decides to send our men and women into harm's way. Military engagement should be our last resort. If we must go to war, every American should be compelled to stop and think twice about whether it is worth sending our brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters to fight. Currently less than one percent of America's population is unfairly shouldering the burden of war." Rich kid's go to college, poor kid's go to war. |

I think it is the only way to get people to quit watching TV for 2 seconds and understand that their butts may be on the line very soon. Maybe enough people will get a reality check and demand they stop this insane attack on Syria. . |

If the draft is reinstated then war will be less likely to happen because the citizens will now have some skin in the game. The support for the war will probably go from 9% now to 0%. He's making a good anti war argument out of concern for the citizens. |

Reinstate the draft so the people will give a fuck. Not so we have more soldiers. |

Quoting: Super Bowl Dave Then all these fuckstick libtard pussies who voted for him will have to FIGHT his shitty wars! We'll see revolt in America! That alone would make it worth it to see their "peace loving" asses in combat. Hell, I want to know where all of them are now on the social networks- the asses that kept defending him all these years, calling others racist because they didn't like how he was running the country. Where the hell are all those liberals now? I've noticed this past week my liberal family members (not many on my side, but quite a few on hubby's side) and friends have all been silenced into oblivion. They don't know what the hell has hit them! |

A few days ago I asked what her thoughts were about the purposed strikes on Syria, and I haven't heard a word from her. |
