1. I voted "yes", by the way.

If opposition was primarily based on a policy that's now moot, it's probably time to repeal this ban too. Besides being the right thing to do, it would serve as a terrific "healing gesture" toward the troops.

2. In all but a handful of...

...mostly elite, mostly private institutions, they never left.

3. no, because they flat out mislead the kids

[jefferson_dem]

4. Kids?

We're talking about college campuses.

Besides, i'm not sure they mislead "potential recruits" any more than corporate industry employers do, who routinely visit campuses for job fairs.

7. They don't mislead them? They make war look like a friggen super hero video game!

But that is beside the point.

I am against a "volunteer army" period. That concept is destructive as it seperates the reality and consequences of wars from much of the population. So I personally don't care for the corporate "marketing" on college campuses any more than I like that they do the "superhero" marketing on childrens playstations.
