A senior House Democrat said Sunday he will introduce legislation to reinstate the military draft,



Hasn't Charlie done this in the past but the legislation never got out of committee..... This time with the dems in control I guess the thinks it'll get out and brought to the floor.

This maybe part of the process to end their control of Congress faster.

He said having a draft would not necessarily mean everyone called to duty would have to serve. Instead, "young people (would) commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals," with a promise of educational benefits at the end of service.

Aren't these the same people who don't think welfare reciepients should have to do public service to offset some of their money?
