What is it with these Democrats wanting to reinstate some sort of draft?

This isn’t a traditional ‘draft’. This administration has no intention of supplementing our military. This is an alternate force at the beck and call of the Tyrant. It is a reason to give his minions weapons and go out and ‘control’ traditional mainstream patriotic Americans that “don’t toe the line”.........................

Rangle was drafted and served with honor in Korea, Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, maybe he thinks it would be good for everyone. Actually, I would support it if there were no exemptions.

They want to get rid of the all-volunteer military. If the military was half full of anti-war dems who are forced to serve, the US could never fight another war effectively ... ever.

They think it will bring back their glory days of the 1960’s, since draftees and their parents would presumably turn out in the streets to protest wars in a way that they can’t pull off with an all-volunteer military.

It's a draft, but I think everyone is missing the point.

IMHO, the point is that Obama, Rangel, and most of the Dems are interested in having as large a government as possible. They can only create so many new agencies, and those can only employ a limited number of people. So, in an effort to grow the government and INCREASE people's dependence on the Federal government, they want to “employ” those between 18 and 42 in order to cement their power and ensure the continuation of the Democrat ruling class. To quote George Bernard Shaw, “the government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul.”

That, or I'm just delusional.
