Rep. Charles Rangel: Bring Back The Draft!
House Representative Charles Rangel, a New York democrat, has announced his intention to introduce a bill that will reinstate a draft for U.S. citizens ages 18-26
"If we're going to challenge Iran and challenge North Korea and then, as some people have asked, to send more troops to Iraq, we can't do that without a draft," Rangel said.
He's tried conscription legislation before, and hasn't gotten very far with it. But with countries on the verge of establishing tactical nuclear weapons, who knows what Congress might give the greenlight to.
