This is my campus and I don't want the military on it. I'm not restricting the military's rights at all. If the military wants to promote itself on the radio or on TV, I wouldn't care much. I don't want them on my campus. It's as simple as that. It's my campus and therefore it's my rules. I pay taxes, I pay tuition, I attend the classes, and I don't want the military here. It's like a business exercising it's right to refuse service to anyone. It isn't written into the constitution that the military should be allowed wherever it wants. That's why I have the right to tell the military to leave.

And yes it is actually my university. It sure as hell isn't the military's university.

I personally don't care if the military discriminates against anyone. The fact that the military discriminates against gay people just means that if there is a draft I can get out of it by saying I'm gay. For that fact alone I like the discrimination. If the military decided to decline all white males from Santa Cruz then I'd be happier cause I wouldn't have to lie about my sexuality.

The military teaches you how to kill and murder others. Unless your future job is hired assassin, the military is not teaching you valuable job skills. A career in the military is a huge step down for a college student. Especially when that career makes you an amputee back from Iraq.

The goal of UCSC should not be to train its students to kill. It should be to train its students to be positive members of society.
