Seems that back in 1991, the moment the first American attack in the Persian Gulf War was launched. Cong Rangel lamented that the war would be fought by an all volunteer military that had a larger percentage of blacks (and perhaps Hispanics) than the general population.

"The Plan"---Page 58---Citizen service: “Every citizen needs to understand and accept the essence of the American bargain: Each of us has to do his or her part. While the rights of citizenship are explicit in our constitution, the implicit responsibilities are every bit as crucial. All Americans between ages of 18-25 will be asked to serve their country by going through 3 months of basic training, civil defense preparation, and community service. The nation will enlist them for 3 months of civilian service. They’ll be asked to report for basic civil defense training in their state or community.”
Candidate Obama 2008: ”We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that 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”.
“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”.

HR 1388 Serve America Act will call on citizens of all ages to serve

Why dont they make people who accept government assistance do this volunteer work and leave the rest of us alone?
Rangel should be in prison.
Never mind ... social justice.
