Code Pink leads efforts to impede military recruitment on US campuses
Various anti-American websites ^ | June 18, 2005 | nwrep

Posted on 06/18/2005 1:50:52 PM PDT by nwrep

Vicious America-hating organization Code Pink is leading efforts by various anti-military groups to stop and interfere with military recruitment across high school and college campuses across the country.

Code Pink was founded by anti-war radical Medea Benjamin who gained notoreity by disrupting a Congressional testimony by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The group later became notorious for defacing military recruitment stations, collecting money for insurgents in Iraq, and disrupting the swearing-in ceremony of President George W. Bush.

The group has formed alliances with other like-minded anti-American organizations to obstruct and interfere with military recruitment nationwide.

Some of these organizations are shown below:


"NOTYOURSOLDIER.ORG" :


"MILITARYFREESCHOOLS.ORG" :


"LEAVEMYCHILDALONE.ORG" :


"CAMPUSANTWAR.NET" :

Their efforts are having some success. The US military said recruitment is down and has failed to meet goals for 3 months in a row. The ROTC recently had to cancel their annual event at the University of Wisconsin at Madison due to the threat of a protest called by the University of Wisconsin-Madison group Stop the War.

Such direct obstruction of a nation's war effort against its enemies by its own citizens is perhaps unprecedented in history.

We must do all we can to stop these freedom-hating, America-hating radicals from interfering with our ability to win the war.

What part of "An All Volunteer Military Force" don't these skanks understand?

Islamofacist jihadis and domestic communist leeches....one and the same.

There is protest and freedom of speech, and there is outright subversion and treachery in time of war. These people are unquestionably engaging in subversion and should be punished accordingly. The fact that the Bush administration has done absolutely nothing about these subversive elements is extremely disappointing. If we are going to fight a war then we need to be serious about. Lately I'm getting the feeling that our government isn't serious about winning at all.

So, do they want a draft, if they are successful enough keeping recruiters from signing up people at these places, who want to sign up?

You know, if we had another "attack" on the USA, similar to or even worse than 9/11, I am sure "Code Pink" would be one of the first in line to complain that the Bush Administration can't protect us well enough...

No, they don't want a draft. They want us to lose.

Excuse me? Collecting money for insurgents in Iraq? And this is tolerated why?

I wonder if they've thought through this more than one chess move ahead. We will get a draft long before we will lose the war. (Which we won't.)

Last year Code Pink, Global Exchange and other groups collected over $600,000 "in humanitarian aid" for "the other side" and codepinkalert.com still has a collection page active for it.

I won't be surprised if they make another trip this year.

Why's it tolerated? Good question!

They claim to have helped send over $600,000 in medical supplies to Iraq -- they've been coy about how the items have been distributed, but they did say they wanted to help "the other side" of the battle of Fallujah. Here's a link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1312014/posts

That just burns me..

the Left has this absurd need to be "loved"...it's the "all we need is love" syndrome. If we show the "insurgents" that we really mean them no harm, they'll leave us alone. It's our fault that they hate us..because we're attacking them.

This head in the sand mentality is naive and dangerous.

When one turns 18, it's understood that they are able to make their own decisions without mommy or daddy. It is fully up to the child. I'm sick of these groups deterring our young ones from volunteering. If it weren't for our military, we would NOT have the freedom we have now!

I was at a graduation party last night and all the mommies were crying about how their sons might get tricked into joining the military and isn't if awful...boo hoo. Meanwhile the boys in question were out getting loaded and getting blow jobs. I wanted to scream..."the military will make a man out of your little brats", but refrained because I live in a blue blue blue state and city. (LA).

These psychopaths would love for the Administration/government to forcibly attempt to arrest them or curtail their civil rights. That would shine the spotlight on them.

The only way to combat them is counterdemonstration by groups and individuals; pointing out their hate of this nation (which is what it is) - and by unceasingly emphasizing the necessity of this nation to defend itself against further 9/11's.

This is for every citizen to do, not just the Bush Administration and the Congress. Each of us was put here for a reason.
