Anti-War Activists Kicked Out of Career Fair

Sounds shocking? Well, it turns out the career fair was on a military base. (ht: Jeff Quinton) The State:

Several activists were told to leave a middle school career fair at Fort Jackson on Tuesday because they were handing out brochures promoting peaceful alternatives to the military.

The group from Carolina Peace Resource Center was asked to leave because it had misrepresented its intentions, said Karen York, a spokeswoman for Richland District One, the group that sponsored the event. Military police escorted them from the event.

4 'on a military base' At a 'community center'. What kind of careers does the military have in mind for middle schoolers?

5 All military bases have a "community center." As for the middle-schooler comment, ever heard of that radical concept called 'planning for you future career?'

6 I would be proud, for one, if either of my two sons opted to join the military.

7 'All military bases have a "community center."' Apparently not for the community. 'As for the middle-schooler comment, ever heard of that radical concept called 'planning for you future career?'' Of course. What kind of career fair do you run for a middle schooler?

8 For the *military* community. If you knew anything about the military, you'd know that the bases are municipalities unto themselves. They each have their own zip code. Try doing your homework, before you start discussing something that you know nothing about.
