Hmmmm....What will be Charlie Rangel's Excuse for this one?

Here we go again...a promenient Democrat, Congressman Charlie Rangel of NYC, has once again decided to stage frontal assault on the American military with this gem...

"I want to make it abundantly clear: if there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment. If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq."

Rangel has had a busy time of it lately, he has insulted Mississippi, is currently pushing for reinstating the draft...despite the fact that when he last proposed this idea, the measure got two votes...and Rangel was not one of them.

Just to point out, the study cited by the Chris Wallace contradicts Congressman Rangel at almost every turn.
