Rangel On Draft: ‘It’s Easy To Talk About Supporting A War If Someone Else Is Fighting That War’»

Prior to the invasion of Iraq, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) introduced legislation to re-implement the military draft, arguing that the cost of war should be borne more broadly.

Donald Rumsfeld said of Rangel’s legislation: “We’re not going to re-implement a draft. There is no need for it at all.” More than four years after the war began, the White House has changed its thinking as it seeks more resources to maintain its escalation. Last Friday, the White House “war czar,” Gen. Doug Lute, suggested that the reinstitution of the military draft is being kept on the table.

Appearing on ABC this weekend, Rangel suggested that the Bush administration would “get out of Iraq so fast if they thought that Middle America had to make any sacrifices.” He added, “Believe me, when a Congress knows you’re talking about their community and their families, you’re reluctant to go to war in Iraq as speedily as we have.”

Rangel went on to explain that there’s already a version of the draft taking place:

It’s easy to talk about supporting a war if someone else is fighting that war. And we already have an economic draft. We’re holding hostage reservists, National Guard. We’re enticing kids that come from the highest unemployment areas with $15 — $20 — $30,000 dollars.

But for the middle class and the kids of the Congress, and the Pentagon, and the White House, they’re not involved. So you find a situation where people support the war, but not my kids.

Watch it:

Rangel continues to push for a draft, but argues that it should not resemble the one this nation experienced in Vietnam. “Vietnam had a political draft,” he said. “All you had to do is what Cheney did, what Bush did. All you had to do was know a politician and get deferments.” Rangel is calling for a draft with no deferments.

UPDATE: Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has written a letter to President Bush asking him to clarify his policy with respect to the draft.

    Neither does the rest of the Republican Party. They got theirs. They get more thanks to Bush. The poor get shafted. Republicans don’t care.

    The draft will wake middle American out of its stupor. Bush wants to get us so entrenched with Iraq and Iran so that the next president has to reenact the draft. Make it happen now so people understand it is because of Bushco policies that we need the draft.


  5. sharon Says:

    how about everyone who supports this illegal war enlist their kids? i don’t support the administraion and i don’t support the war effort….and i have told every recruiter that has called my house promising my kids the world that they can call back when bush is out of office.

    You mean - UNLIKE YOU?!?!? Both the man and the fighting part.


  9. Ringo Says:

    Rangel, like many of you anti-war people, only want the draft reinstated so that you can protest against it.

    You know, you don’t need a draft in order to run off to Canada or France; you’re free to go now if you’d like….America won’t miss you.


  10. RUCerious Says:

    If it takes a draft without exceptions or deferments to wake the sheeple up, then so be it. Let’s also have a public tv station broadcasting the return of each casket as it is offloaded from the airplane, and each funeral (at a respectful distance).
    Bring it home, make it real, it’ll end.


  11. katy Says:

    Rangel is calling for a draft with no deferments.

    aren’t there variables included though, that would apply
    to public service, not just military service…
    could be another plan i’ve heard of…

    that idea would be a good one for this generation of
    idjits and slackers…
    just sayin’…


  12. Troll Hater Says:

    > I don’t think that Rangel’s idea will be accepted by the American people.

    They would, if there was reason enough for it. The current “buy on impulse, charge my VISA” war does not count. But would Congress pass that? Naahh…

    Anyway, the epoch of wars with “reason enough” is long gone anyways.


  13. bilbobaggins Says:

    Actually, I think this is the magic bullet for the Democrats. They need to tell Bush that if he expects any more money for Iraq he will need to reinstate the draft and bring home the soldiers who are on their 3rd and 4th deployment. That way the Right can’t say that the Democrats don’t support the troops and it will put Bush on the hot seat to keep his war going. It will also make it HIS war and not allow him to put it on the shoulders of the Democrats.


  14. RUCerious Says:

    I wish there were a statute insisting that all war funds be paid from liquid tax monies, and not borrowed. As people saw the real cost of this fiasco, they’d end it yesterday.


  15. Alan-MT Says:

    So sharon is a fair-weather patriot. What happens if Hillary takes the white house and decides to send your kid off to Serbia like her husband did, to fight a war against a country on the other side of the world who offered no threat to the United States? Here is a clue for ya: if your kid is eligible for military service, they are able to make a decision for themselves.

    I served in the late eighties and was offered $40K to stay in and I didnt grow up in the ghetto, this is nothing new. Depending on your specialty, you can make all sorts of dough as a reenlistment bonus. My boy just finished boot camp and is ready to move on to his first unit which may include combat duty (he doesnt know yet). My kid is a man, yours must still be a child.

    No - we want it so those soldiers on their 3rd deployments can get a break, as well so cowards like you might end up seeing what real war is like.

    It’s easy to be a cheer leader, just ask your president.

    You’ve confused Iraq with Kosovo. Iraq posed no threat, but Kosovo was having a genocide and ethnic cleansing. So much so, NATO and even Russia got involved.

    Tell yourself another lie traitor - this one makes you look stupid.

    If you served in the 80s, that explains the PTS lunatic post. Get a therapist - your tinfoil hatred of Clinton shows you need some serious psychiatric treatment! Thank you for your service, and please, get some medical care before you kill your family or do some other crazy PTS act.

    I have been ready my entire life that he may die while acting foolish in his first car, decide to skydive and have the chute fail or die because he decided to use drugs and overdose.

    My boy made the decision himself, he visited the recruiters and afterward asked my advice which consisted of “tell me what you think and Ill tell you what I know”. My son is a responsible nineteen year old man who made his decision himself, he knows what might await him. I wont be a mother hen and try to stand in the way of what HE holds important. Get that? What “HE” thinks is right for himself.

    Rangel is correct that we already have a draft: The government is paying quick deployment bonus money : $20,000 for each new recruit. The folks joining aren’t the usual calaber that we knew. I read where felons, former rejects, and gang members are signing up. And what about the National Guard redeployments for third and fourth tours without adequate R&R? Don’t get me started about the poor PTSD soldiers who are called back and not getting mental health relief. Unless we redeploy out of Iraq, what is the option? No deferments will mean no phony wars like Iraq. We should be in Afganistan to finish those who started this mess.

    Whatever works for you and your family is what you should do. Many parents are actively telling their children not to enlist because they don’t believe this “war” is a reason for their child to be put in harms way. I’m sure you don’t want those parents judging you so why do you judge them?

  38. Bruno Hauptmann Says:

    Now Mitt Romney knows a thing or two about being a Chickenhawk. His sons rather than fight for their country, are earning the Medal of Freedom conducting campaign minstrels. Nice. Wave the flag, hide behind the skirt. Them righties, they know how to start a war but their a little short on backing it. Like every other policy of theirs, it is hollow from the get go.

    No, no need for a draft, no need for armored vehicles or bullet proof vests or sufficient troops to secure the munitions sites, the nukular sites, the oil lines, or museums, government buildings. We can win with a good platoon. You know, you go to war with the Army you have. (And the media bought that one. What an idiot Rumskull was. You go to war with the Army you have WHEN you don’t have a choice). When the choice is yours and you just want to up and invade someone cause you don’t like them or they “tried ta kill my daddie”, well then makes sense to maybe gear up for it. Unless ofcourse, you don’t care how many soldiers get killed. Afterall, some of them are Godless atheists, and turn to worm dirt according to at least one Army Chaplan.

    So thus far our policies have been a blazing success, bringing ruin to both Iraq, its citizens, our Army, just about everyone but the unknown mercenarys. Yeah, dead-eye Dick, he’s a smart one alright.

    You’re lack of depth of understanding is not surprising.

    Before we stormed Iraq, Shrub was advised to DOUBLE the size of the US Troop deployment. Our military was TOO SMALL, but Dumbya “went fer it” anyway. It’s been enumerated many times since that more troops are needed to secure a country the size of Iraq.

    Since Neoturds and their boot-lickers DON’T WANT to fight because they’re Chickenhawks, they poo-poo the mere SUGGESTION of a draft.

    That’s fracken bullshit. It’s the croupier asking again if you are really sure you want to put all your money on red, 14. Hell, if the draft stirs up “anti-war activism” then this means that the US is just too weak to take it. Pity.

  64. RemoveBush Says:

    For those “supporters” of the war, here is a FACT for you to swallow…..

    Patraeus (SP?) wrote the manual on what it would take to secure a country after a invassion…..

    He states that you would need 1 soldier for EVERY 40 people in the country…..

    Now he is just swaying in the wind by IGNORING his own research and manual!

    So, if he does not follow what he creates himself then HOW CAN HE BE TRUSTED????

    He is just a puppet at this point with ZERO balls to actually state anything beyond the WH talking points.

    That would be why other Generals were let go before the war, because they too understood that it would take at least 650,000 troops to be successful.

    So from the start, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and anyone else (NOT GENERAL RELATED) involved in the planning was WRONG!!!!

    Yet, YOU want people to support something that Bush screwed up so badly because he “knew” more than the Generals…….


  65. sponson Says:

    These trolls speak of Rangel as if he doesn’t understand what soldiers go through and some how unqualified to speak on the subject. Besides the obvious fact that this also makes most trolls unqualified to speak on the subject, it’s also mistaken. In fact Charlie Rangel fought valiantly in Korea in a battle that killed nearly half his unit, and is a genuine war hero with a Bronze Star to prove it.

    Your military expertise, is based on your father, being in the army.

    Kid, you have no military expertise, and what is more, for all of your claims of supporting the war, no real concept of war. You think it is all romance and action, all your daddy being strong and never losing a man to the enemy. You think that destruction, makes you more of a man.

    You don’t have a concept of war, so you champion it in blissful ignorance. If you ever are cursed with a fate bad enough to allow you to actually see war, well,

    I think that after this mess is over, that Congress should write a law that states First, if the president is going to start a war in another country that he must FIRST impliment a draft to increase the military, and Second that there is to be NO PROFITS. Only cost of the product being produced.

    That means that there is to be no markup on product and that only what it actually costs the manufactureer to produce the item is what they can charge.

    #24 - Thank you for saying what i couldn’t type fast enough to. I have been a federal employee since 1979 and all while my kids were growing up in the ’80’s & 90’s I watched the military men and women in my building enlist, ship off to boot camp, return and re-enlist. Up until Iraq I often encouraged my sons to enlist because I believed (based on the men and women I talked to every day) that military service would teach them things no school could, would show them the world that we could not and would build strong character in each. But the men and women I see today aren’t re-enlisting and return to the states depressed, angry, fatigued and disenchanted with the white house. Iraq is not a noble cause and I fear for neices who are traveling abroad - who come home to tell us how Americans are despised and distrusted. This isn’t the world I envisioned for my children. I salute all those who served and hold no grudges against the troops - no matter where they served. But any parent with enlisted children wants their cause to be just and true - not the charade this white house has played on the american people.

    Malice, when will you be enlisting? Or did you catch Rove’s ‘nal cyst?

    Clinton let OBL get away.
    Clinton had the chance to take him out, but he was too cowardly.

    Comment by Malice — August 13, 2007 @ 4:24 pm

    WRONG

    and WRONG!!!!

    Clinton asked the Congress for the authorization to take out OBL and YOUR Republican friends said no and claimed he was “wagging the dog”!!!!

    So, perhaps you should put the BLAME where it belongs…… The REPUBLICANS in Congress…….

    Facts just mean nothing to you 28%’s, do they???

    One son is not draftable — he has a real disability.

    The other will serve if drafted, even though he does not support this war.

    You are the one that mentioned Clinton.

    No, but you’re clinically insane.

    Look at your post #155, FART-KNOCKER.

    And you are the one that distorted his record - as usual.

    Honesty from a republican is something you no longer are capable of as a movement.

    I was around for the last draft when nobody enlisted. I’m not the one who claims a fake disability, that would be YOU. So how would I get the Social Security your trying to cut, idiot.

    SIGN UP OR SHUT UP, COWARD.

    Comment by Malice — August 13, 2007 @ 4:33 pm

    Yeah, Clinton was the guy that actually tried to go after Osama even before we had proof he had done anything. You however charge him with not doing enough when we weren’t even sure he was responsible for any crimes.

    Now we know, and what has Bush done? Let him go.

    As usual you Clinton Haters are such losers.

    Really? I think I was told by the Naval Medical officer on-staff that I had a real disability — that of a hearing impairment.

    Who are you, lefty? You’re sapping your own credibility.

    Both of your sons have real disabilities — they have you as a lying, projecting, lefty mother who spends her time as an adult slandering others over the web.

    Get out of here.

    At least I attempted to sign up. You never did. I don’t claim a disability, the medical officer on-staff makes the assessment.

    And no, I claim no Social Security.

    You were told to put away the talking-points, haggy. You still have time to comply.

    All real Americans support the troops and the War Against Terror.

    Real Americans of all colors and both men and women support the noble cause that this War stands for, whether they are in the military or not.

    Are you a real American?

    Comment by Malice — August 13, 2007 @ 4:16 pm

    This is such a bunch of bushwa I don’t know where to begin.

    REAL Americans remember when we were the good guys and not the bullies.

    REAL Americans can see that the war in Iraq isn’t for any “noble cause” — it’s for oil, it’s for revenge, it’s to distract Americans from the fact that Osama bin Forgotten hasn’t been caught.

    REAL Americans know that the “war on terror” is purely a propaganda move to allow the neocons in charge to erode our freedoms (you remember freedoms, don’t you — you know, the liberties we supposedly fight for?). If we were fighting a REAL war on terror, we wouldn’t be beating up countries who did NOT blow up our buildings, or taking away hair gel from people at airports while incoming cargo containers go unchecked.

    And yes — I am proud to be a REAL American. (I also served in the U.S. Navy, so don’t reply telling me I ought to sign up.)

    You, are a savage prick and you have no morals, no sense of honour. Your father, frankly is a failure as a parent, and should he ever suffer enough misfortune to read and recognise the words of his son to a woman he has never met, then I trully mourn for him.

    You are a not a man. You are a craven coward who seeks not to rise above himself but to drag all that is good down into the muck where you dwell.

    And yes, I think you are lying about your so-called disability because you have demonstrated time and again how little you regard common decency, and common truth.
