Stop the Military Recruiters! Leaflet, Jun 03: "The Pentagon spent $2.4 billion on recruiting in 2002. Annually 200,000 young people are recruited into the military. Why are they really trying to get us to join the army? Millions of people around the globe have flooded the streets against the war and occupation of Iraq. Why? They know that this war has nothing to do with safety, security, or stopping terrorism. People are figuring out that the US government is on a global rampage to dominate the oil resources of the world and institute regime change whenever and wherever they want.
Let's be clear - their wars are for profit and empire and they need millions of kids to go off and do their dirty work for them.("Did you know that we were paid for the gulf war by Saudi Arabia and made a profit.Cash that is!Our kids still lost their lives!) Will you and your friends get suckered into doing it or will you join the movement to stop the madness?
Many soldiers on the front lines are Black, Latino, and/or poor. Most of the kids who join the army and get sent to fight and die will come from schools full of Black, Latino, Asian, American Indian, and poor kids. People of color represent 1/3 of all enlisted personnel, but only 1/8 of all officers. The American Council has attributed a drop in Black college enrollment to military recruiting. Only 35% of recruits receive any education benefits from the military. Only 12% of male and 6% of female veterans surveyed have made any use of skills they learned in the military for regular jobs. Immigrants who enlist are given citizenship only after they have been killed during service. "
