Re: UCSC Kicks OUT Military PICTURES

I graduated from Merrill almost twenty-five years ago in Politics. In 1982 spent eleven days in jail as a result of anti-nuclear direct action. I still support direct action. I strongly oppose the Iraq war, and I hate the militancy that has grown in our nation. But does anyone recall in "Fahrenheit 9-11" when Michaiel Moore needled Congressmen about not having a child in the military? Moore's point is that children of the elite (which many of you are) don't step foward to serve in the military. Whether or not you want to admit it, military action is sometimes neccessary (isn't there a genocide to stop in Sudan?). Those who celebrate driving the recruiters from campus are ensuring that our armed forces will not be integrated by the 'educated' class of America. the military is, and thanks to your actions, will continue to be a ghetto of the economically under privaleged. I know good LIBERAL ANTI IRAQ WAR people who have been overseas to Iraq and Afgahnistan, not because they wanted to go but because they were willing to go. John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and John Kerry all seved in their day. Bush and Cheney didn't. Which group do you have more in common with?
