Rangel To Push Universal Military Draft Legislation
Once More
The draft still won't blow away

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) has said that he will most likely
reintroduce legislation to reinstate the universal military
draft this year.
Asked if he plans to introduce the legislation
again in 2009, Rangel last week said, “Probably …
yes. I don’t want to do anything this early to distract
from the issue of the economic stimulus.” according to
an article featured in The
Hill yesterday.
Rangel will therefore once again push the idea
that everyone in America should be forced by law to work for
the government for at least two years, either for no pay or
for minimal pay.
Rangel last introduced the bill in 2006 immediately
after the Democrats won control of Congress. The bill attracted
virtually no support and was passed off as merely a "political
statement" regarding the Iraq war by leading Democrats
such as Nancy Pelosi.
However, Rangel has previously lauded
the reality of a military draft, saying that it
would bolster U.S. troop levels insufficient to cover potential
future action in Iran, North Korea and Iraq.

Rangel has consistently pushed for legislation
on conscription in the past.
In 2003, he proposed a measure covering people
age 18 to 26. This year, he offered a plan to mandate military
service for men and women between age 18 and 42; it went nowhere
in the Republican-led Congress.
We have previously
pointed out how Rangel's insistent efforts to keep
this issue in the body politic is allied to an underlying framework
that provides for a rapid and extensive implementation of conscription,
be it on the continent or within the 4th Reich of America in
the form of Homeland Security Gestapo squads.
The issue came to the fore recently with newly discovered details
regarding Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama's plans
for compulsory community service and a "national
civilian security force".
