"Democratic congressman says he will introduce bill to reinstate military draft"

"WASHINGTON: Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he will introduce next year."

Story

It's a non-starter. Thanks, Rangel.

Lessee:

1. The United States no longer legally exists.
2. Everyone hates the Feds and it is now morally proper to kill them in self-defense. (Refer to this piece for the proof.)
3. The youth in this society are decidely anti-military --as would I be, seeing the degree to which the armed forces have defiled the uniform I once proudly wore. I am now embarassed to wear my lapel pins in public.

Any such draft notice arriving in the mail would be summarily thrown in the trash, where it belongs, with the rest of United States Government LLC.

Any more instances of not understanding the world around you, Mr. Rangel?

How's this for a brilliant idea: What say we eliminate the Army and the Marine Corps? They've proven themselves unsuited to walking among gentlemen.

And without a ready store of rampaging savages, maybe we'll have fewer wars around here.
