You shouldn't be surprised. He was advocating a non-deferment draft, wherein
those who have privilege aren't exempt. Seems right to me.

Yes I was surprised that Rangle of all people supported a return to active
conscription. Another term for slavery. I think what it takes is either
a
declaration of war by the Congress (and one of the reasons they didn't) or
a
Presidential order/decree whatever they call it. Whatever, the youth of
the
country are very much on the hook.

It would take an act of Congress. I believe Rangle (sp?) has introduced
such legislation.

We do not currently have a draft, and it would take a bit more than a
push of a button to create one.
