Is the following what Biden was referring to? Does he believe the military draft would provide necessary discipline that's lacking for so many in the urban youth population? Interesting.

Was Biden Talking About a Draft? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

That's what some Hillary supporters think Joe Biden was talking about when he warned about the coming test under a President Obama and unpopular actions in response.

Biden said: " . . .we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Recall that Obama has said: “But it’s also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think it’s important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some.”
