Rangel, who opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq, also said he did not think the United States would have invaded Iraq if the children of members of
Congress were sent to fight. He has said the U.S. fighting force is comprised disproportionately of people from low-income families and
minorities.
"In rejecting the draft, the Pentagon has argued for years that volunteers wanted to fight and draftees were reluctant. The Secretary of Defense
even belittled the sacrifices of Vietnam draftees. They also argued that recruits needed more time for training in order to handle today's high tech
systems--not less. This decision shatters the myth of the superiority of the volunteer military while exposing the hypocrisy of the Pentagon's
arguments," Congressman Rangel said.
Since a Republican made a topic that should be closed due to misleading and blatant LIE of a title I made this one to keep it going. Since his topic
would be like me making a Topic called "Every Republican Worships Hilter" even though it was only the President's Grandfather giving millions to
Hitler even as his son fought against the NAZI forces.
Anyways, it would work. Wouldn't be surprised if more Republicans dodged the Draft for Vietnam then Democrats. Or, like most in power, used
Daddy's money and power to get comfy positions to do coke all day. Or like Cheney who got went back to college after dropping out, then got married,
then got his wife pregnant only to stay out of Vietnam. Also, isn't it amazing that people who have been to war oppose the Iraq War while people who
don't even wipe their own bottoms because that would be to much like work support it? Like with McCain and torture. He opposes it, and was a victim
of it. Bush, who considers not taking 9 months of vacation a year torture, supports it.
