It's like I said, the larger part of the problem is structural. Too many important non-combat functions are available primarily through the Guard and Reserves. The Army needs to expand its active duty forces to include those functions so that we aren't keeping these guys on duty three or four years at a time. Ruining careers and family life like that kinda has a way of severely ****ing up retention.

Considering I would not know which end of the rifle to hold, and which end will shoot the bullet, I doubt they would want to draft me.
Not to mention the pitiful ugly fashion statement of the army's fatigue pattern on its clothing.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

Charlie Rangel also supports the draft. His point is more about punishing whitey tho' vs. actual need for troops. He sees the demographics of the armed forces slanted so that black make up a disproportianate share vs. demographics of America. Hence his solution is the draft to kill more whiteys."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
