JIM WOOTEN: “Suppose now that U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) and others on the left will argue for a return of the draft? Or was that proposal in 2003 only directed at George W. Bush? Said Rangel then in calling for a reinstatement of the draft: ‘If indeed the president believes war is necessary in terms of our national welfare, then he has to believe that sacrifices need to be made, and those sacrifices need to be shared. We have to kick up a notch the sense of patriotism and the sense of obligation.’ The left wants a draft because they think one will turn us into a nation of pacifists.”

My idea of “shared sacrifice” includes a Congressional pay cut, and other give-backs from the “takers.” Think there’s any chance we’ll see that?
