The Draft

Chuck Hagel…, RINO from Nebraska, makes the argument that the draft should be re-instituted because too much of the burden of the Iraq war is falling on the shoulders of the poor.
A Republican U.S. senator is calling for a return of the military draft so the cost of the Iraq operation could be borne by people of all economic strata.
Speaking at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on post-occupation Iraq, Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., said, “There’s not an American … that doesn’t understand what we are engaged in today and what the prospects are for the future.”
Hagel, a member of the committee, says all Americans should be involved in the effort.
Commiecrat Charles Rangel makes the same argument:
WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Charles Rangel branded the Iraqi war a ‘’death tax'’ on America’s poor and minorities in a speech Thursday criticizing the Bush administration’s foreign policy.
If memory serves me correctly, one of the arguments made against the draft by the left was that it placed too much of a burden on the poor and disadvantaged. Sooo, which way is it. You can’t have it both ways.
