Oh no!!! Better get them ham recruiters out to those high-schools and
colleges and uni-varsities..... gotta sign them up young ya know.....
can't have them becoming professionals until after they pass through
the amateur ranks!!!!
At first the law professors at the universities tried to stop campus
recruiting, but the Supreme Court told them that they took federal
dollars, so must allow fed recruiting.
Which law professors at which universities?
Franklin Unilateral College at Kennsington University.
You can imagine what was lettered on their sweatshirts... :-)
I see him in a different role. In a Safety Yellow colored vest with
N2EY stencilled on the right side of his chest, a peace sign on the
left, and "Emergency Services" on the back, bullhorn in hand, I
envision Jim on College Campi, shouting down the ham recruiters,
decrying the unjustness of recruiting practices that target young
people, people barely old enough to serve in other ways, having to
forego a lucrative careers in engjneering and technology, and instead
serve "thier" country in a worthless endeavor. It's all soooo wrong.
Prolly smokin a doobie afterwards with John Foggerty playing "Fortunate
Son" in the background.
The NPR reporters gather around to interview this oh-so-wise
anti-recruiting patriot.
Pffffft.
Boggles the mind, donut? :-)
