It's the assumption that if Congress was to send their kids and grandkids to fight a war, they might think a bit harder about what exactly they were supporting.
Sure, it's a stunt...and nothing more, but the message is pretty true.

As usual your post is "Utter BS". This whole draft issue is simply a way to avoid fighting at any cost. |

Utter Nonsense but if the shoe fits. At this point my premise is "If Spence is against it, its good for America". |

I think thay Rangle's point is this: If we had a draft, those who represent us and vote for war would think twice about voting for war if their own sons and daughters were subject to that draft. After seeing how our present leadership personally handled the draft, I think that Rangle could use a lesson in cynicism. Our All-Volunteer Soldiers are the best that ever put a boot to the Earth. And they've been betrayed by our politicians.

Your post was nonsense as it's easily refuted by publicly available statements. Your interpretation is based on how you want to see his stunt, and not for what it really is.
