you guys know my views, and its hard for me to say this but I agree with Rangel.
He doesnt really want it reinstated but knows that if it is/was, we would be way more careful about entering wars since more families would have something to lose.

Exactly his point.
A great book is "The New American Militarisim" which came out last year I believe. Really looks into the impact of Vietnam and the all volunteer military have had on the psyche of the Pentagon and policy makers.
One key theme of the book is that since it's so easy to just use force, we've lost all ability to negotiate political solutions.
From Clinton to Bush 43 this couldn't be more apparent.

Only thing about a draft is what will be the parameters for exemption....many favored sons were able to get out of going back in the day.

It's rather funny, all the anti war folks are now talking about having a draft. These people just make less and less sense everyday, they want our troops out of Iraq ASAP, yet they want a draft, wich will mean sending more troops into Iraq??  I dont get liberals. They make no f'ing sense |
