Please don’t engage in the absurdity we’ve seen in Berkeley. In case you haven’t noticed the national backlash, you’re hurting the cause.

The Navy does not decide where they are deployed. That is decided by Bush and Co. Trying to stop recruitment does nothing but hurt the military’s ability to perform their missions safely by having enough personnel. The Administration will not suddenly stop the war because they have fewer troops. This kind of action just ensures that MORE of the troops already there will come home in body bags because they didn’t have anyone watching their back.

Protesting recruitment centers does nothing but undermine the assertion that we can oppose war and support the troops, because it actively removes the tangible support of troops.

The public notices, and they do not take kindly to it.

It sends the message that we blame the troops for their commanders’ actions.

Go stage the protest at the Wilshire Federal Building where it makes SENSE.

I’m glad I’m in a state that truly supports the military, not just pays mouth service while turning their backs. A protest like this where I live would end with at least a few ambulances on scene, and not for the recruiters.

Oh, and most of the excellent recruiting is done outside the recruiting office, in high schools, on basketball courts, and in homes. Code Pink’s efforts to weaken the military are in vain.

Pass the word along, contact people you know who live in these areas and let’s put patriotic American men and women out there in numbers to counter these people and send them home….

Don’t tolerate the “Vietnamization” of our times. In fact, it wouldn’t hurt to dig the dirt on these code pink types. I liked the picture of the support for AQ on somebodies tent at CP.

I’d think that one sticker on anything the recruiters own would be defacement or destruction of Government Property. That enough to arrest someone for. What are these police officers waiting for!

Also, I know a somewhat high level recruiter in the Navy and he told me they actually get MORE business when Code Pink is out there picketing. (but not when those violent, destructive types are around.)

The Military Recruiting Station in Boise is right next to a brand new Cabela’s. I would love to see some of these professional protesters hit our area. The recruiters and concerned citizens have a fully functional armory next door. Matter of fact why don’t the Code Pinko’s come on down tomorrow I will be taking the wife into Boise to run some errands and Cabela’s is on the list and would love to interface with the tolerant members of Code Pink and their allies.
