They see them as poor, ignorant children being manipulated by a scheming system. Nevermind such a stereotype has been thoroughly debunked, it goes to show how patronizing Democrats are to the military.

Considering that the left refers to Iraq as "Bush's Vietnam", I find it curious that they would now support something they once opposed so vehemently. Rangel to reinstate draft?

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."> More of ol' Charlie's demagoguery. What Heilprin forgot to metion is that Rangel's draft bill only received about 4 votes this year. And his was not one of them. Had nothing to do with a Republican led house. Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors.</blockquote>

Kerry/Edwards was not elected, so this is delayed Democratic retribution! The phrase, "elections have consequences" takes on a whole new meaning now, doesn't it? The recent examples of the "Democratic leadership" should make a whole lot of folks wonder just what the heck they did on Nov 7th. “Vice presidential candidate John Edwards promised a West Virginia mother on Wednesday that if the Democratic ticket is elected in November the military draft would not be revived.”
