Rangel wants to reinstate the draft
- Thread starter drmarkan
- Start date
From 1948 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the armed forces which could not be filled through voluntary means.
Hence it was the draft that FED Vietnam.

The draft, and resistance to it led to the end of the war in Vietnam...
When did we begin to see a very great resistance to the draft?
The drafting of young men to fight in a very unpopular war lead to the end of the Vietnam war...
Doh!

when liberals talk about mandatory volunteering programs.. they arent referring to jury duty.
"President Clinton's philosophy may be enigmatic at times, but his core ideals were on display at a commencement address at Pennsylvania State University on May 10. He urged all public schools to make community service mandatory by requiring high school students to volunteer for a certain number of hours in order to earn their diplomas ... Mandatory service is just another instance of public schools intruding into family decisions." {"Mandatory Volunteers", Opinion Column by Scott G. Bullock, Lawyer for the Institute for Justice, The Providence Journal Bulletin, 5/20/96, p. 12}.
Jury duty is not voluntary, and it is public service.
Doh!
Oh, and it is also not communism.
Don't worry, I doubt you will be drafted for public service...

Not every person is "combat" material, but virtually everyone can contribute in some way. I'm not sure a draft is a bad thing. If everyone had to go, I think it would soon become not a big deal. Would probably turn out to be good for the country as a whole. Having said that; people in the USA will join the military when there is a relevant cause. Vietnam and Iraqnam don't qualify as "relevant". Pearl Harbor did.
