Rangel has been shown time and again that there is not a disproportionate number of blacks in the military, and despite evidence to the contrary he still insists there is. He is an idiot. We had a draft for many years I dont recall it stopping any wars, he doesnt either, there goes that point. I believe he would like to start a draft during the remaining time George Bush is in office so he can say that Bush caused the draft, and believe it or not a lot of idiots would believe him.
And IIRC, the casualties in Iraq are disproportionately white males.
