Is Charles Rangel having a Kerry moment?
Over at Hot Air, watch the video of Charlie defending his proposal to reinstate the draft (something he's done before, if you'll remember).
Allahpundit couldn't follow it. Michelle couldn't follow it. It's mostly nonsense.
However....
It really sounds to me like he's suggesting that the troops aren't patriotic since money was all that lured them into service.
Added to Kerry's infamous moment of Freudian clarity and Murtha's characterizations, does that mean that Democratic leadership views the troops as stupid, lazy, cold-blooded mercenaries?
Maybe he'd like to eliminate pay, benefits, and bonuses to the troops. You know, so only the real patriots would want to serve be conscripted...
Well, good luck with that, Charlie.
