So why does Rangel want to reinstate the draft? A country that can't raise enough volunteers to defend itself isn't worth defending.
Democrats want a country that needs a draft.

Something about - ‘only the lower class’ fight the wars?
I think they just hate liberty that much - any chance to FORCE a citizen to do something is rewarding to them.

In WWII, 66% of the military was draftees, 93% of the Army, in WWI it was 72% for the Army.
