While young Americans were enjoying their summer vacation, Charles Rangel, representative from New York, introduced H.R. 5741 in the House on July 15th. This Selective Service Act requires a two year mandatory service for the United States. The first paragraph reads:
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.
Interesting. All persons means women too. And what does "for other purposes" mean? Sounds like a catch-all phrase for anything the government wants.

About time they drag some of the street corner business men and women off the streets and give them direction for their life.
I have a 30 year old son and 2 grandsons and believe they would serve their country, should it be required.
Gives new emphasis on "stay in school and graduate". Oh yeah, now some of the men of society will learn to pull up their pants.
Drag? You mean, violate their property rights? Why anonymous, you don't believe in force AND the violation of one's property rights, do you? Isn't the use of force immoral?
Doesn't the constitution under Article I; section 8, provisions 16, state: To provide for organizing, arming, disciplining, the Militia, and governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States?
Some persons need a little kick in the butt..
Sad to see that people actually believe this is a good thing... Yes some people due need a kick in the butt but to force it is a violation of what little rights we have....
Repeal the Patriot Act....
End The Drug War....
Learn About the Military industrial complex.....

It's a horrible thing to force anyone to do anything against their will! Regardless of a negligible to possibly positive outcome, it's just... it's wrong.
I have been to a few of the conflicts (i won't call them wars because they technically aren't) that this country creates and anyone who enlists into THAT, should do it on their own free will.
If my kids ever serve in the military, they will do so because they want to. And i'll flee the country before i let anyone force my children to do anything against their will. Especially if it evolves going through even a degree of the things that i have went through.
