I have no problems with everyone voicing their opinions, in fact that is one of the reasons I am in the Army, to fight for your right to freedom of speech. Isn't my freedom of speech the right to go on campuses and talk to those that want to hear recruiters. If you don't want to hear what they (recruiters) have to say, then do not approach them. But do not take the right away from those that wish to hear about joining the military. Besides, you are free to move to another country, in fact I'll even pay for your move. If it were not for the US military, we would not have the freedoms we have today. Instead of protesting the military recruiters, you might want to think about just saying thank you for volunteering to put their lives on the line for your way of life. As for those that are over in another country fighting, they knew before they raised their hand (taking the oath) that they could possibly go to war. Regardless of what the reason for the war, we go when we are called to. No service member wants war, but will go when called to because that is what we do. Selfless service. You protestors make me sick, no one is throwing you in a car and forcing you to join.
