That may be the only thing I agree with Charlie Rangel about. (Speaking as a draftee myself.) I agree with him too. Having a draft would expose more young people to the military and (I think) make them appreciate and value their country more.

You're willing to have others forced into the military (I'm not saying that to sound anti-military - I'm not - just to be accurate: The draft would force young people into the military). Would you voluntarily sign up as well, to show solidarity with the young men whom you want to force into the military?

A good number of draftees of the 50s and 60s decided to stay longer than two years.

Are the recruitment levels problematic such that a draft is required?

Would our Country and youth be better served by supplanting the illegal immigrant workforce with your draft candidates?
