Like A Turd In A Punchbowl
That's how this suggestion will be received:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An influential Democratic lawmaker on Sunday called for reinstatement of the draft as a way to boost U.S. troop levels and draw a broader section of the population into the military or public service.

U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, the incoming chairman of the House of Representatives' tax-writing committee, said he would introduce legislation to reinstate the draft as soon as the new, Democratic-controlled Congress convenes in January.
Thankfully, they'll be no graphic for this one.

Rangel has suggested this before so it's hardly news. I guess with the new majority, he thinks it needs to be revisited. Of course Rangel is correct. But I don't think any politician is going to touch this one.
