The following is a News & Commentary from the Conservative Voice:
Democrat Party and Code Pink Join Forces to Sabotage Military Recruitment
July 23, 2006 06:24 PM EST
While Americans hear leaders within the Democrat Party insist that they support the troops but not the mission, The Conservative Voice received a revealing document that appears to question the Democrats claimed support of the men and women in the US military.
Below is a schedule of an event from earlier this year. It's an extraordinarily educational document circulated by a county Democrat Party headquarters:

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 18. 2-5 PM
For the last two years dedicated activists and groups in NC have been focusing on Counter-Recruiting work, both to expose the racist practices and lies of the recruiters, and as a practical step toward ending U.S. wars by cutting off the flow of youth into the military machine. From the recent training camp sponsored by Not Your Soldier, to the important work Code Pink has done fighting the recruiting clause of the No Child Left Behind Act, Raleigh F.I.S.T.'s direct picketing of recruiting stations, and the work by the Campus Greens at NCSU with F.I.S.T. to drive recruiters off State's campus, many folks have made important, but too often isolated contributions.
We offer this afternoon meeting as an opportunity to share experience and strategies about counter-recruiting work, but also to forge deeper relationships and communication to offer a more disciplined and concerted fight-back against this face of imperialism.
(Here are suggested questions Code Pink distributes to parents of potential recruits to ask those in-charge of Junior Reserve Office Training Corps programs):
"Ask your JROTC instructor tough questions, such as "Do you enjoy dropping bombs on people you don't know?" or "How many people have you killed?" or "What is the difference between murder and what our military is doing in Baghdad?" or "Why does the military use chemical weapons in Fallujah and torture people in prison camps?" Write down if he treats you badly, insults, or yells at you because of your questions. Today's youth need great teachers not lying recruiters."
(The organizers suggested these tactics, as well.)
"'Life-sized coffin with idea that potential recruits can "try out" their future/post-service home? "Real military benefits include this oak box?"'

Remember, the above is not some radical Marxist group's position on military recruitment. It's supposedly a mainstream county Democrat Party meeting notice.
