EMANUEL'S NATIONAL DRAFT PROPOSAL

Patriotism-lite from Republican-lite Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama's chief of staff, in a 2006 audio interview describing the national draft he's seeking. He expects "a lot" from a compulsory Civil Defense Corps for 18-25 year olds. Watch Obama at the end of the clip, in a speech during his 2008 campaign for change: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." (H/T Undernews.)
