Oh, yeah, BUSH was going to reinstate the draft, remember?

Except it's not him. Again.

He said having a draft would not necessarily mean everyone called to duty would have to serve. Instead, "young people (would) commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals," with a promise of educational benefits at the end of service.

Don't you just love it? It's a draft, but not just for military service. "young people (would) commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals, " etc., etc. Remember a few years ago the 'required voluntary service' crap? Here it is again. This points out that Rangel doesn't just want a draft for military service, he wants compulsory 'public service' from everyone.

Hmmm, I wonder when somebody will call it 'slave labor'? Although, since it's coming from Rangel, that'll be muted if at all.
