I haven’t read through the thread but don’t think it is about Rangle’s draft. Obama talked of this when campaigning and it was frightening to hear then.

Obama’s Civilian Army

THEN-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Rangel's scheme seems like it's partly a military draft and also a draft imvolving a bunch of other "uniformed services" and government agencies.

Whatever it is, the occupations of all young adults will be regulated from Washington on the whim of bureaucrats who can rev up their control by declaring a national emergency.

Bottom line: it sounds dictatorial and dangerous to freedom!
