Recruiters Out! Pt 1 World Can't Wait -- Cindy Sheehan 052908

Cindy Sheehan and Dennis Bernstein, Berkeley CA 5-29-08.
Cindy Sheehan was scheduled to debate military recruiters -- after months of intense protest and controversy over the Marines running a recruiting station in downtown Berkeley -- but

the recruiters did not show up. So instead, Cindy and KPFA Flashpoints producer Dennis Bernstein held a fascinating conversation which the live audience was invited to join:
- Why are military recruiters in our schools and communities?
- What are they recruiting for?

Your son died for what he believed in and for the freedom of others. You spit on his memory.

@danthetinman916 Is she arguing against people being allowed to enlist in the military, or against the military being able to recruit in schools?

[danthetinman916]

you stupid bitch without people enlisting into the miltiary we wouldn't have a military in turn we wouldn't be able to defend ourselfves from both domestic and international threats. we should take her and the for that matter all these liberal piece of shits like world can't wait and code pink and drop their asses off in the middle of afghanistian and see how long they last without any protection what so ever. this bitch should be wearing a fucking duns cap during this video

This lady is stupid. Her son was going to community college and she acts like the Marine Corps swindled her son. Community college is treading water for losers. Killing is my business and business is good. Not everyone in America is a pussy. Thank god her son who was brave enough to serve is not here to see his liberal mommy discredit his name with her anti-American BS.

you have the right to your opinion and i sure as hell have the right to mine. Thanks for commenting!

It's so sad that you post this on a video about a woman who has lost her son to an illegal, immoral war. Your mother should be ashamed of you !

If I could leave the Marine Corps right now. I would leave the Corps just so I could go through all the bullshit of reenlisting again at that particular office. I would establish residency in Berkeley somehow and once I have met the minimum requirement of residency I would go into that office and renlist. i would do it just to spite those fuckers. If they interfere, I will show them what a 6 foot 5, 240 pound gunnery sergeant of Marines can do to their stupid liberal asses!

I feel sorry for the forces, they think they are doing a grand job, but their facilities, equipment, water etc are sub standard, their showers are electrified and they go home (if they are lucky) to be shunned by the people who sent them out. Blaming Bush and his cronies here. Damn bad form for troops who risk their lives, esp when blackwater get double the money that the troops do. Even the death tolls are hidden. Is Bush that ashamed of himself??? I freekin hope so!

[StoogeWatcher]

You would kick out the military, but libs like you have no problem welcoming tyrants like Ahmadinejad to Columbia or Taliban spokesmen to Yale.

We dont need militarized schools. Its enough with ROTC crap. Since there is no draft, they get students another way. Some H Schools force kids to joing ROTC which is illegal.
