Time for a draft? What say you?

The problem with this war hasn't been that they couldn't muster up a big enough fighting force to win. A draft wouldn't change the fact that the civilian military leadership is incompetent from the top down.

There isn't going to be a draft anyway, the draft talk is not legitimate. I wonder what the draft vote would be in Congress? Not close at all.

This vote was taken before the election, but I believe even Rangel voted against the bill:

House overwhelmingly stomps out bill that would've reinstated draft

WASHINGTON — Moving to dismiss politically troublesome rumors that the war in Iraq could revive a military draft, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly defeated a bill Tuesday that would have restored mandatory service.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., had little support and no chance of passing. The Republican-controlled House held the vote to make sure it was defeated during a close presidential race in which talk of a draft has run rampant. The vote was 402-2.
