Second day of counter recruiting at CSU Fresno

Today about 35 counter recruiters greeted Army Special Forces recruiters at CSU Fresno, during its Vintage days festival. From 10am till 4pm counter recruiters handed out leaflets, drummed and chanted anti-war slogans.
At one point the Army recruiters called the police over to complain about our actions. The police never came over to speak with us though. It looked as though police told the recruiters they couldn’t do anything about us. They then left.

Here we were Drumming and chanting right across the sidewalk from Army Special Forces Recruiting booth.

Great Job! You Peace folks CSUF are to be congratulated for facing up to the Empire's recruiting agents. The recruiters are the true merchants of Death, both to the (mostly) Third World peoples and to the naive U.S. youths who might be fooled into joining up an Imperialist Army that rains destruction all across the Planet. But you folks overwhelmed them with your Peaceful but firm messages. May the Peace force be with you!

I am a Marine recruiter and I really wish there were more of you around. Just for the simple reason that you would make my job a lot easier. Just think if there was more of you than nobody would join the Military and than you will have reach your ultimate goal of bringing back the draft. Which means that I don't have to recruit anymore I just get to hunt down the people that get drafted. I mean that is your goal right is to bring the draft back.
