Military Recruiters Driven off College Campus (1 Viewer)

[danarhea]

Protesters drove military recruiters off the campus of of UC Santa Cruz today.

My take is the following: Normally, what the citizens do locally is none of the government's business, but this time, there is a twist. Doesnt UC Santa Cruz accept Federal funds? Of course they do, and in that context, the Feds have the right to station recruiters there.

The Liberals at UC Santa Cruz just dont get it. They are in favor of taxation, but at the same time, do not want to be burdened by resposibilities. That is not the way this nation works. If they dont want recruiters on their campus, then their only honest remedy is to take a Conservative position on taxation. Now there is a real dilemma for them.

I think the government should cut these universitie off whose students drive away the military recruiters.

Apparently college people are not that smart.

Did you go to university?

No, he is right, these people are stupid, very stupid!

You do not attack the men and women who defend us, or do you stand in their way, you fight those who send them, these people need to be beat about the head and body. These folks are supposed to be educated, and they still want to spit on our finest men and women, and they have no right to stand in the way of America's defense.

Uh, Deegan? One group of hippie students at one university did this. I hardly see how he can declare that college students in general are "not that smart".

Again miss, go to the Yale site, the professors there fought the military, and lost, this is far from one student.

I am not wading through a huge site to when I don't even know what I'm looking for. Link me directly if you have a source.

I believe this boils down to a First Amendment issue too (The military recruiters also have rights), but my point is, if colleges choose to accept Federal funds, then they also accept the strings which come with those funds. Also, my point is that Liberals want it both ways, and that just wont work. If you want taxes, then you must also accept the consequences which come from the Federal government holding onto your purse strings. Legally, the students dont have a leg to stand on, and could be violating the law.

My point is, military folks are the most responsible, capable, respectful members of society we have, and to refuse them.....that is just ridiculous. If you don't like the men and women who send them, vote them out, but to refuse them this great opportunity, and all that they learn, and contribute, that's lazy *** liberalism, and it sucks!

It does suck, and that is why I wouldnt live in Santa Cruz. However, it is their town, not mine. Point is, that they push for taxes, then refuse the responsibilities which come from their political position. That also sucks.

However, your point of students being deprived of the chance to be all they can be is well taken. How many of those students who protested the recruiters will end up flunking out and ending up working at McDonald's? Those who do will have passed up their best chance for success in life. That's the way I see it. Without discipline and organization in one's life, success is difficult, if not impossible. They dont see that now, but some of them will eventually, maybe too late for them. And that's the irony of their choice to protest the recruiters. Our lives are defined by the choices we make.

It just stinks of the Vietnam era, these guys didn't ask to be sent, but they went and did their job, only to be spit on by these same "educated college students" They lack more then common sense, they lack a heart, and I think they are dead wrong to attack our military.

I really hate them for this, I really do!

Look at where some of them are 10 years from now, and you wont hate them. You will pity them.

 

[jamesrage]

Did you go to university?

Would you care to explain what is so smart about driving away the people who defend your country?Would you block policeman and fireman who is attempting to do his job?

IN the old days this would constition sedition(WWI ,US sedition act of 1918) .

I hope these vermin get tossed in jail.

 

[afr0byte]

My point is, military folks are the most responsible, capable,

Capable of what? It's too general of a statement to just say they're the most capable.

You do not think the military is not capable at?

The arrogance of the university shiits is becoming unbearable. They think they are the whole nation's "betters", and that the principal task of all the yokels out there is to supply them with money, but otherwise keep their recruiters and other unwanted flotsam out of the pristine liberal/left campus environment. Brings to mind the old equation:

THE LEFT - TAX MONEY = ZERO​

 

[afr0byte]

Well, I was commenting on the fact that he had said "most...capable." Certainly, just like any individual, military people can be on both sides of a capability spectrum. Certainly they're probably the most capable at certain things, but I don't think they're the most capable at everything (obviously).

Using that logic, Bush then is left wing. He is responsible for the largest increase in descretionary spending in US history (even over that of FDR). Descretionary spending has shot up 49% since Bush took office.

Please give a real answer not some politician answer.What do you think the military is not capable at/of?

 

[Deegan]

I was speaking about being the most capable of what ever they were trained to do in the military. It's not just a catch phrase from a commercial, these people are the best they can be, and when the military trains you, you know this duty better then anyone possibly can.

Any other questions?
