ROTC, Military Recruiters Off Campus Now!

by Young Spartacus Sunday, Apr. 17, 2005 at 5:38 PM
http://www.icl-fi.org/ENGLISH/2005/ROTC-846.html

¨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! ¨

A better idea: get government out of schools

by ROTC RULZ Sunday, Apr. 17, 2005 at 9:53 PM

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.

military might produces nothing but death

by more rational Tuesday, Apr. 19, 2005 at 8:37 PM

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.

ferocious warrior

by Meyer London Saturday, Apr. 23, 2005 at 12:31 PM

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.

"Every hour spent training to kill is another hour lost to improving life"

by ROTC STILL RULZ Saturday, Apr. 23, 2005 at 1:59 PM

Every hour spent training to kill is another hour lost to improving life.

Tell that to the brave soldiers that caught that dirtbag son of a mongrel Saddam. A lot of Iraqi lives are now improving.

saddam starved his people to feed his armies

Saddam Hussein was part of the same game. He spent a lot of money on war.

Spud is a Dud

by ROTC 4EVER Monday, Apr. 25, 2005 at 3:11 AM

Bush Admirer and ROTC RULZ. jumping up and down beating their chicken chests. I know that I'm convinced.

The only thing the Spuds of the world have in common: they have a power of denial that negates being wrong all the time.
