Analyst's note: And you thought it couldn't happen here? A proposal by Congressman Rangel provides mandatory induction for 'national defense,' and 'homeland security' for everyone age 18-42. Wonder how they propose to handle illegal immigrants and their citizenship or will that automatically follow this new "national service?" I also have to wonder if it will include "special operations" forces or will they just expand ACORN, SEIU and the Tides Foundation? Those who support this are being referred to even now as PATRIOTS. Absolutely must read the entire original article.

Rangel, facing ethics charges in Congress, has proposed the Universal National Service Act that would require "all persons" from ages 18-42 "to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security."
The plan also authorizes "the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes."[....]
