Even if a draft were to happen I'm basically already out of rangel. They count your age as what you turn in that calendar year, and since my birthday is very late in the year that means I'm considered 22 by that standard. And since it'd be basically impossible to get a draft running up in this year anyway, I'd be 23 by the time it could be reinstated at the earliest. Very unlikely a draft would ever reach that age. But it's a moot point since the draft won't be reinstated anyway, and this bill will have zero effect on anything like the last one, no political effect, did not pass, nothing.

that's how it'd work, but it's very unlikely it'd make it past 20.

I'm talking about a hypothetical draft and how it would likely be. Rangel's bill will never pass, it's also basically impossible, the cost of trouble of drafting everyone who falls in that range is insane. You'd basically have to spend teh whole military budget.q
