Would Congress and the President view using US force differently if the burden was shared not by just those who choose to sign up...but by those who enjoy it's protection!

The utter nonsense is the notion that this issue is about a possible abstract consequence of the Draft reinstatement. The very basis for Rangels proposal is incorrect. His statement that the military disproprtionately consists of those of lower social bearing (Undeducated, poor, and minorities) is completely false. Want to debate the real issues? Heres a few of hundreds.
1) Forcibily removing Mothers and Fathers between the ages of 18 and 42 from a family structure.
2) Diluting the strongest and most effecient Miltary Unit on the face of the earth.
3) Lowering current Military admission standards
4) Substantial financial implications to support a milatary draft and its cojoined social/community service alternative (draft deferment option).
