Charles Rangel, Democrat from New York, would like to reinstate the draft (PDF Link). He would like to make every person between the ages of 18 and 42 serve a two-year stint in the military, or some other form of civilian service.
Rangel's been on this kick for a while, trying to reinstate the draft, and I've never been sure why, as I've never heard him give a good answer when asked.
