“Rangel wants draft back to punish rich kids”

B.S - he wants to see the military filled with resentful draftees that will cause problems and ruin efficiency. It kills him and the other liberals that we have the best military in the world - and it is all volunteer.

And because it is volunteer, it is made up of the FINEST in our society. People that would never follow obviously illegal orders, as might be issued some day the the fruit-bat currently in the White House!

You have his motivations right.

The draft is a triple header win for the left.

1) It forces people to work under their authority without them choosing to do so.
2) It reduces the effectiveness of the military.
3) It makes the USE of that military in America’s national interest more difficult due to popular resistance.

There are dodgie elements, as with any group of people. I've seen people that volunteered to join and get to Basic and become RTTs (Refuse-to-train.) They get cycled back through basic again, killing unit morale until they finally break the rules enough to get kicked out. It's stupid, but it happens. And with the PC police firmly ensconced in Basic now, you can't even assign them to KP and latrine details anymore. That being said, when I went through we had 5 of these out of a company of 83. Still, 5 too many.
