A group of us from Peace Pledge-Chicago went to hand out flyers and talk with folks who were visiting the military recruitment tents. Honestly, I was dreading it but we'd made the commitment to go, so we did. It was actually, surprisingly, a pleasant afternoon. We just talked with folks from the vantage point of getting all the information about recruitment. People have the right to make whatever decisions they choose, but they should at least be fully informed before they do so. People seemed to appreciate knowing that they have other options. About 20 people ended up leaving the line at the Navy tent after talking with one of our folks. It was really gratifying.
