#1 This is sooo silly it boggles the mind! So the Recruiters talk to the students and tell them the benefits and rewards for serving your county. And then the âpeace activistsâ tell them that they are making a big mistake and should join them in what? I thought California was loony, now Florida is giving us a run for our money! Any PW people down there so we can get some film of this event? How can these âpeace activistsâ be at a school job fair? What employment are they offering? Professional protestor? Hooligan? Communist Cell Leader? College Professor?

#2 Del Sol and Marie Zwicker, who joined the anti-war fight in the 1960s, say theyâre recruiters for peace.

Hey IDIOTS, it's no longer the 1960's. Get a life while you still have time, you damn hippie retards.

#4 So, we send these clueless old hippies into the schools to chant, preach, and project their monumentally transparent and self-righteous authoritarianism onto high school students? How receptive to you think such students will really be? The result will probably be a horde of newly enlightened teenage militarists swarming into recruiting offices to sign up for a chance at some payback.

#5 Seriously, I think a good many military enlistments are based on a sense of rebellion against the years of suffocating leftist dogma many of these students have endured from "progressive" faculty.
The 60s schtick will only work with those who are so far gone in drugs and the fantasy world of retro-pop-culture conformity that they would be unlikely military recruits in any case.

Who knows? Maybe some nefarious group of recruiters is actually behind this effort by alleged peace activists.
What better way to influence teenagers than to have a pious, authoritarian, old 60s throwback frame the opposing position?
