Oh yes it is! Charlie Rangle wants EVERYONE to be drafted....young men, young women, homosexuals, lesbians, women with children, kids attending college.....and on and on and on; NO EXCEPTIONS. I merely asked what you thought about that.

Who are you to tell me I need to die for my country.
I’ll decide that. Which I did for 10 years.

Rangle is wrong on that one--

The object, as General George S. Patton is reported to have said, ''...is not to die for your country but to make the other possr SOB die for his.'' The legislative mandate to compel service to one's country is nothing new or revolutionary. If you don't like the law challenge it and then comply with the court's interpretation of its constitutionality. I'm not ''telling'' anyone to die for any cause, that's an invalid argument that every second semester freshman knows is faulty.
