Arlene Inouye, Coordinator of the
Coalition Against Militarism in Our
Schools (CAMS) and Robert Acosta, an
Iraq War Veteran (2003) with Operation
Truth, will deliver a presentation
about the ongoing efforts to raise
awareness and mobilize the public against
the aggressive and deceptive tactics
military recruiters use in our
public school system to get working-class
youth to join the U.S. armed forces.
Arlene will talk about the work that
CAMS has been doing in the Southern
California area to counteract the
influence of military recruiters in
our public schools (especially in
working-class Mexican and African-American
communities) and promote nonmilitary
alternatives to young people. Robert
will share about what happened with
him personally when he was recruited
into the U.S. Army. shortly
after dropping out from Santa Ana
High School and why he's decided to
speak out about it now. CAMS is a part
of the Human Rights Committee of
the United Teachers of Los Angeles
(UTLA).
PLEASE BRING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
OR ANY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO YOU THINK
MIGHT BENEFIT FROM BEING EXPOSED
TO THE REAL FACTS ABOUT JOINING THE
MILITARY.

¨Military recruiters, ROTC and other similar agencies are direct appendages of the military machine that exists to defend the interests of the American imperialist ruling class. ROTC recruits university students to become the next generation of the elite officer corps whose job is to oversee U.S. imperialist slaughter in wars like those against Afghanistan and Iraq. Meanwhile, military recruiters use promised tuition assistance and job opportunities to lure working-class youth, including a disproportionate number of black and minority youth, into signing up to be the cannon fodder for these wars.
The SYC opposes the extension of the repressive apparatus of the capitalist state onto college campuses and high schools. We fight against the use of the universities and schools as direct agents of U.S. imperialism and have actively organized for years against ROTC, military recruiters, military research, the CIA and cop training on campus. We say: ROTC, military recruiters off campus now! ¨

It is mental midgets, typically leftist, with no understanding of history, who need to ship the fuck out and keep away from government schools, until they in turn can be shut down and the money returned to taxpayers. No more liberal indoctrination, thanks.
And tyou in the Unitarian cult, should get on your knees and thank the God you barely acknowledge that someone has the balls to knit the blanket of freedom under which you sleep (when not whining).
LONG LIVE MILITARY MIGHT. PEACE THROUGH SERIOUS ASSKICKING OF TYRANTS.
People transform material with work.
The work become valuable. It can sometimes become wealth.
Wars destroy value, and transfer it from one power to another. War is theft. Warriors are theives.
Creating the tools of war, and operating the bureacracy of war, is an indirect form of theivery and value destruction. It's also a callous destruction of natural materials used to construct the tools of war.
Every hour of work spent building a bomb to "protect" us from "them" is an our not spent making production more efficient.
Every hour spent training to kill is another hour lost to improving life.
Working on war can potentially produce a net gain in value. But that value is stolen from someone else.
The "protection" from others is the golden rule in operation, in reverse. Invade others as you expect to be invaded. Get one over on the other guy before he gets one over on you.
ROTC RULZ probably works at the toy department in a Target store. The only soldiers he ever sees come in plastic bags; they are manufactured in the Peoples Republic of China. He knows that the Unitarians are a cult because he learned that in Sunday school at the Kern River Baptist Church, Rev. Josh Crackbrain, Pastor.

knitting that involves the balls.
For sure you can't use your dick.
Now I can't stop laughing.
Bush Admirer and ROTC RULZ.
jumping up and down beating their chicken chests.
I know that I'm convinced.
Saddam Hussein was part of the same game. He spent a lot of money on war.
