Rangel brought the motion to the floor as a protest bill. What the bill said was all people no matter gender, no matter wealth, no matter if you are higher education, you will be eligible for the draft. That means children of privileged means will also be vulnerable just as the many minority and underprivilege kids who fight the many wars for us to be free. Do you honestly think that any one of these senators or congressmen would have their children go? What Rangel was trying to do was close all the loopholes because maybe the people in power would think twice about escalating a war if their children had to go to war.
