1. Afraid I do not get these people...

They do not think we should have a military? Do they think we would be better off if we just disbanded it right now?

2. Where does it say "disband" the military? No where.

Those of us that show up will be protesting the pResident's lies, the deaths of innocent people, and the raid on our treasury to give obscene amounts of money to Halliburton and company, while letting our own people go without.

We will also be protesting the military's sick fascination with torture which will hurt our soldiers for generations to come.

3. Note the name of the event: Recruiters Out Now.

4. I think that refers to out of our schools

which I agree with completely.

Also, people are furious with recruiters for some really awful tactics they've been using to get kids to sign up. You should watch this news report:

5. The tactics of some definitely need to be changed. No argument there.
