<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(richard schumacher @ Nov 22 2006, 09:58 AM) [snapback]352980[/snapback]</div> I actually agree with Charlie Rangel - institute the draft again - make everybody serve country! I would have several options including non-military service, para-military, and military (which would be compensated). I am sure everyone here, in the name of Patriotism, would serve country if called upon to - by whomever is President. Man up (and woman up too) - we would have a large standing army - large enough to do whatever the President asks of us - and do it with pride and honor. We have so much to be thankful for - the least we can do is make sure we pass this great country on the following generations. So I agree with you - but I would also send the Democrats, the Greenies, etc.
Oh, hell no: there should be *no* exemptions. The President's handlers would think real hard about starting Iraq-like fiascos if they knew that voters and the children of voters regardless of race, education, and net worth were all equally likely to become cannon fodder or conscientious-objector jailbirds. Which, of course, is Rangel's point.
