While I haven't read this particular posting I admit, I believe this is the same stunt he tried last year.. Rangel seems to believe that only poor people serve in the military and only do so due to financial need.
Rangel's believe is that somehow if the children of 'rich folk' have to serve too, this will make politicians more hesitant to go to war.
Trouble is, these little leftist theories have been completely disproven. Statistically speaking most servicemembers are not members of a minority race, nor are they poor; greater than 60% of servicemembers come from households that are mid-middle class or higher..
But then, partisans never let facts stop them from believing what they wish to be true..
