Because it's not true. Sen. Rangle proposed this as a PR stunt a few years ago and the GOP pundits you blindly follow have used it to whitewash the Democratic party and scare people.
To be fair, there have been many on the left who have used it to scare people as well
But the notion that the left is calling for a draft is simply not true.
Bryan, what you say above is accurate...although when you include the Guard and Reserves it's probably more balanced than it is sometimes presented as...
Though due to recruiting problems, they are lowering standards to include more w/o a high school diploma...and certainly they don't put up as many billboards in affluent areas!
