Liberals Go After Military Recruiters! Sedition?
They will stop at nothing! Here’s the flier and here is the red meat behind it:
Is your enemy the state?
Befriend a recruiter and keep your friends close and your enemies closer!:
This campaign is not about (badgering?) recruiters. It is solely about making friends and finding out more about the military that you don’t trust:
Actions to take::
Prank-call a recruiter to schedule appointments on the other side of town.
Ask a recruiter to pick you up and then tell them you’re hungry.
Ask a recruiter to take you out to eat.
HotAir cites 18 U.S.C. 2388: “Whoever, when the United States is at war, willfully causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military or naval forces of the United States, or willfully obstructs the recruiting or enlistment service of the United States, to the injury of the service or the United States, or attempts to do so – Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.” Allahpundit correctly points out that it would be near impossible to prove that someone’s interest in enlisting was insincere.
MM is calling this The Left’s seditious war on military recruiters, but I am thinking that the Smith Act may be a better tool to use.

A military recruiter’s nightmare

Here is a thought about a potentially effective counter-recruitment tactic:What if military-aged persons contacted their local recruiter and feigned interest in exploring a military career?
The person would talk to the recruiter, politely listen to the recruiter’s presentation, make appointments and not show up, reschedule and show up, ask questions, take tests, remain polite but noncommittal, ultimately decide not to enlist.
The whole point would be to waste the recruiter’s time and energy. An hour spent recruiting somebody who is not interested is an hour NOT spent recruiting some impressionable teenager who may be receptive to the recruiter’s deceptive claims and imagery.
If enough persons do this, it would clog the recruitment system, demoralize the recruiters, and obstruct the war machine at its most vulnerable point.
Ecrasez l’infame!

“Is your enemy the state?”
No, my enemy, besides the terrorists, is degenerate scum like this group.
I say round ‘em up.

Wow, they will stop at nothing. I often wonder if any of these numnuts realize just what will happen if we aren’t vigilent. I sometimes feel as though I’m in the movie “On the Beach” just waiting for the end.
SFL tells us not to play into the fear but the more I see and hear, from surrender liberals to muslim viewpoints the more afraid I become. Help! I feel like I’m being attacked by liberal extremists
