And in context with Rangel's Bill, it would still be moot

These are some of the REAL issues and consequences relative to Rangles proposal. They are not moot.

1) Forcibily removing Mothers and Fathers between the ages of 18 and 42 from a family structure.

2) Diluting the strongest and most efficient Miltary Unit on the face of the earth.

3) Lowering of current Military admission standards to allow quota fulfillment.

4) Unprecedented financial (Tax) implications of supporting a military draft and its cojoined social/community service alternative (draft deferment option).

5) Conscientious Objective Deferals for those who opppose fighting in Wars.

Woa, I just had a deja vu

Well, I don't believe he's ever called for any of that. Rangel's bill isn't even for a "military" draft alone, but also to draft people into public service that will aid us in the War on Terror. For many this could mean nothing more than some part time work instead of watching 8 hours of mindless football on Sundays

Have you even read his Bill?

Wow, Even after reading the bill I was left with the clear impression it called for a Miltary Draft.

Reread my post, I corrected it after rereading it and realizing it was worded poorly.

So back to the point...is the burden of fighting for the American way of life being equally shared among those who enjoy it?

Should it?

Its tough having the average guy answer this. If I answered from my personal observations the answer is yes. Every soldier I know or am familiar with through friends and family here in Boston are all well educated and career driven middle class people. They come from all walks of life be it public servants, politicians teachers etc. All with high school diplomas at a minimum, most with college and some with post grad degrees.

This is beacuse it is a cross-section of my personal and social circles. We can all relay stories about our opinions based on our experiences.

The problem is answering the question on a national level, for that we must rely on statistics. Unfortunately, as we all know we could spend a couple of days here posting links

trying to nail down the exact socio-economic make-up of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.

"Should it?" ..... I may have to take a stab at this later. Off to court.
