"The north had a draft and won, WWI had a draft and 99% of the world knows we won, WWII had a draft and we damn sure won. You can't back up your incorrect statement by rewriting history."
What makes you think the draft was needed to win any of those wars? You don't believe people would fight for their own survival? Rangel was, is and will always be an idiot. When and if (it will never happen) a bill to reinstate the draft lands on W's desk, The correct response would be "After the "thumpin" we took in the election, I understand that the american people want this kind of change and I defer to the party in power". And then sign the thing.
The discussion was if you could win a war where a draft was needed.
