A draft doesn't have to be limited to military personnel. Draftees good be put into police departments, federal or state forest services, the Border Patrol, Homeland Security, TSA, etc.

Of course. Government can force people to do a lot of things, and a lot of jobs, if government assumes dictatorial control over people's lives. They did it in the Soviet Union for 70 years - telling people what jobs they had to take for the "good of the fatherland."

Rangel's constituents, some of whom might have some difficulty passing the educational and drug screening thresholds for the US military -- perhaps his constituents who fail the educational and or drug screening could be utilized to harvest crops in California for $76/month, now that illegal aliens are more difficult for California farmers to find and hire. I thought I read that crops were rotting in the fields because there's nobody to pick them. How can we let this happen? Remember, it's all for the "common good".
