New York, NY - Congressman Charles B. Rangel issued the following statement regarding US involvement in Syria:

"I strongly abhor and condemn the news that chemical weapons were reportedly used by the government of Syria. However, I strongly urge the President to seek an affirmative decision of Congress prior to committing any U.S. military engagement to this complex crisis.

Before we commit our military personnel to another war, we must reinstate the draft. Reinstating the draft and requiring women to register for the Selective Service would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation. We must question why and how we go to war, and who decides to send our men and women into harm's way.

Military engagement should be our last resort. If we must go to war, every American should be compelled to stop and think twice about whether it is worth sending our brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters to fight. Currently less than one percent of America's population is unfairly shouldering the burden of war."

There will be no draft. As long as Joe Yokel from Dustbin, Texas voluntarily joins no one cares. Try to draft the middle-class and watch a bunch of politicians get recalled.

There will be a draft.

Joe Yokel (me) volunteered then as now because with or without a draft, myself and the rest of the Yokels are the ones that will in the front lines.

This has always been true and will never change. It is not often discussed but there is and has always been on the books a draft for people with critical skills. True, these people are a step or two above we of the Yokel clan, never the less, ask any doctor under 65 how he feels about the draft.

It is a lesson in life when you see men dragged off in chains by others with big guns. I "volunteered" and was in Korea when the FBI and police came to my home for me.

Andrew Carnegie had the proper elitist approach when advising his son to hire a Yokel to take his place in the Civil War. Andrew said there were many "less worthy" that should volunteer or be drafted.

I'll bet you 20,000,000,000 Zimbabwean dollars there won't be a draft.

Ha...

My Grandfather was a FDR supporter, all in favor of sending the Yokels off to war.

Then when the law said all males to age 65 had to register for the draft, he turned peacenik.

Question..

If North Korea and China head South one more time, should we write off our 25,000 grunts in South Korea?
