Rangel: Bring Back the Draft Before Launching Air Strikes in Syria
Sheldon Alberts * The Hill
Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) on Sunday renewed his call to reinstate the draft, arguing a vote should be held on mandatory military service before any decision is taken to launch strikes against Syria.
“I truly believe we should have a National Draft Act before the Congress acts,” Rangel told MSNBC.
Rangel, a decorated veteran of the Korean War, has for several years introduced legislation to bring back the draft and earlier this, for the first time, advocated that women should be included.
The New York lawmaker said the burden of war unfairly falls on lower-income Americans.
“They are not in the Hamptons. They are not in the wealthy neighborhoods,” he said.
Rangel, a former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the third-longest-serving member of Congress, has made it clear he will vote “no” on a forthcoming resolution seeking congressional approval for limited strikes on Syria.

Have your grand kids sign up first before you tell others they have to go. There weren’t a lot of Senators sons serving in Vietnam!
Typical idea from a carreer politician. FORCE OTHERS TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK!!!!
IT DIDNT WORK IN VIETNAM, IT ONLY BROUGHT RESENTMENT FROM THE CIVILIANS TOWARDS THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WERE VICTIMIZED AND FORCED TO GO THERE.
I predict that if the U.S. Assclowns (gov’t) force kids to sign up for military service, with all we have been through with the last 12 years of lies, there will be a Revolution!!!!
Dealer….I’m all in.
Rangel is a decorated veteran. He has the right as a man who has been there done that to tell congress if you want to bomb Syria then make everybody eligible to be called up to defend the country. Then let’s see if Obama says it’s in our best intrest if his oldest daughter can be called up in a few years.
SCREW YOU! AMERICANS WILL DISOBEY THAT ORDER! WATCH AND SEE!.
Yeah, and sign Charlie UP, first thing.
He has served . Google Rangel decorated Korean War vet.
