I think Rangel realizes that the "anti-war" protests during the Vietnam War were not really anti-war but instead anti-draft. He wants to institute a draft in order to increase anti-war feeling to get back to the "good old days" of the 1960s.

I am a Vietnam era veteran. Remember all the war protests with thousands of long-haired hippies? Remember when those protests stopped? They stopped when the lottery was instituted for the draft and most of those protesters found out that they would not be called. Rangel wants nothing more than a constant supply of protesters for his anti-war and anti-US efforts. He could care less about the people in the armed services or how they got there.
