The good folks at the Indypendent have launched CounterRecruiter, a new weblog keeping a sharp eye on the growing movement against chickenhawks. Desperate for bodies to keep "boots on the ground," the Army, Marines and Reserves are getting ever more desperate. Students were brutally arrested at New York's City College for disrutping a recruting table at a student job fair and in New Jersey just for handing out flyers. From exchanging information to taking direct action, activists have found a way to hit the military where it hurts. Even High school students are getting fed up.
Military enlistment is falling short. They can't fight their wars if we won't fight for them.
