Today’s Dumb Idea – (Surprise, it’s from a politician!)

(AP) WASHINGTON – Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he will introduce next year. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars.

OK – Aside from the fact that this guy Rangel looks WAY TOO much like Al Sharpton for my taste (red alert! red alert!) – this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of…

With a list of fresh guaranteed recruits that can be scaled to any size quickly, it makes it even easier to go to war IMHO. And I’m sure the politicians have ways to “exempt” any family member or friend – just in case.
