Many things in this country perhaps could and should be done more equitably. Such as access to health care, or higher education.

Unfortunately, that has nothing whatsoever to do with how to best achieve the goals that our form of government has established for the military.

<<The question is really about equal distribution of a difficult workload across our society>>

This is a foolish and short-sighted statement. It is equivalent to arguing that the best way to accomplish garbage pickup in our cities is to draft garbage men across the economic spectrum. The question is really, and totally, about what is the best way to accomplish the goals of the military.

I submit to you that the accomplishment of those goals is better achieved, and more likely to be successfully achieved, if those involved in the task share a common, active desire to participate.

Rangel's statements are nothing but an extension of his socialist positions on most things, and are purely political. I seriously doubt if he even believes them himself.
