Ethical Objections To Rangel’s Proposal
When I wrote earlier of the immorality and unconstitutionality of the proposed draft, I was questioned by an astute reader as to why I did not include the word “unethical” in my list of negatives.
Rangel Misses The Mark
Rep. Rangel has recently reintroduced his bill to reinstate the draft, saying that:
“There’s no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft, and members of Congress and the administration thought that [...]
