Rangel insisted that a new draft should be fair, with people from every part of society coming to a national public service.

And I would suggest that the top of the pick for Rangel's draft would be the United States Congress! Now wouldn't that be interesting? Charlie in uniform and answering to a drill sargeant!

Uh, FYI, Charlie is a Korean War vet. So he's been there, done that.

Charlies was in the service. What he won't admit is that Warren Buffet's kin will never put on a uniform. I doubt that a baker's dozen Ivy League graduates were killed in Vietnam.

The current uniform doesn't come with a hat size sufficiently large to enclose the massive egos of congressmen.

Sadly, Rangel was in the military and served in Korea. You'd never know it though, the way he talks about the troops today. He's an angry, racist person who has been in the House far too long. It's pretty pathetic when a member of Congress introduces a Bill to reinstitute the draft, and then votes against his own Bill. He's another one who claims that the military is nothing but a dumping ground for blacks and poor whites who have no education and have no other options in the job market.
