When this issue came up a while back, Rangel was pitching it from a racism perspective, that minorities have a disproportionate burden in wars. My understanding was that the military objected to reestablishment of the draft on the grounds that war has changed and that hoards of cannon fodder were no longer needed or even useful, that they prefer fewer troops and prefer volunteers.
