the advice here in this thread is really good.
that website/group's main goal is anti-war protest with the overall mission of creating a "culture of resistance to military recruiting as a key part of stopping these wars."
which is fine, if that's what you believe in... but it seems naive to me. teaching those kids to inform themselves seems like a better use of their resources than the scared-straight approach about the "realities of the war, including vets talking about their own on-the-ground experience in rounding up people, rape and the consistent use of torture on innocent people."
sounds like the vets they have on the speaking tour should be in jail for torture and rape.
