 "Bring Back the Draft!" Says Charlie Rangel Charlie Rangel and the DraftCommentary for Tuesday 11/28/2006 The Draft and Charlie RangelBring Back the Draft: Charlie Rangel keeps seeding the idea of bringing back the draft. He may be on to something, but not for the usual punditry reasons. The Black Youths of this country are definitely troubled. Too many of them go to prison, too many seek refuge in gangs, involve themselves in drugs, and produce far too many children out of wedlock. It would not surprise me to learn that Charlie also sees the problems with these young people and would like to see the draft reinstated so that a positive structure could be instilled into these young people. Forcing these youths into a structured venue would undoubtedly help a lot of these kids both black and white. Don't look for the draft anytime soon though. The politics of a draft are against it at this time. But the idea may be gaining ground for other reasons than stated above. Personally I support the idea of a mandatory draft. The cost may be worth the benefits in terms of saving our young people from the chaos that reigns now throughout our culture.
