A VFP ping.

Hmmm . . . do high school students tend to take the unsolicited advice of self-important, doddering strangers - or do they tend to do the exact opposite?

Let's see now. If this turd gets the same access to the kids as the military does then I think I'll sart up my own group and demand equal access to the students also. My group will be called "Veterans for Ass Kickings". We will demand equal access.

Great, perhaps they will allow Scientologists in to offer the kids a career as a Scientology slave. And the Hare Krishnas and skinheads. And how about Islamic terrorists, after all many of them have a great career blowing themselves up!

Companies and the military who actually have a career to discuss should be allowed, groups which simply want to present an "opposing viewpoint" have no business at a career fair!

The Pinellas County School board is a bunch of idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right. A career in the Military is a worse option than a career at MacDonalds, or washing cars, or WalMart, or hijacking cars, or robbery, or dealing drugs... /sarc

I would venture a guess that at least 25% of this group never served and at least a similar percentage were discharged under dubious circumstances.

I'd bet a good 'vetting' of backgrounds would seriously discredit this group.

Wonder how hard he'd push for pro - military speakers, or recruiters, to get access to places that deny them an opportunity to speak to students.

What's with these loony tunes...Going into the military was the greatest experience of my life. (Even with a tour of duty in Vietnam!)...Not to mention, that should America need defending (like now) we'll be prepared with plenty of superior warriors.

[longtermmemmory]

Seems like these are the military vets who wanted to parlay their military careers into politics but could not.

[weegee]

To come on campus, however, Veterans for Peace will have to change their message. Instead of focusing on anti-war issues, they'll have to offer positive alternatives to military careers.

Yes, you could become a paid member of rent-a-mob, protesting in the streets and teaching arts and crafts to children for "street theater". < /sarc >

Schools are letting in these "anti military, anti America wackos to influence the kids in a negative manner. At the same time more and more cutting back on ROTC programs which are positive for them, even those that dont choose the military later as a career. The discipline, structure and leadership skills stressed in those programs cannot hurt and certainly do help the students. Its a wonder we still have a country and people willing to join the military and insure we keep it.

"We're really concerned about those students who have not done well in school," Lawton said. "[Those who] have no choices, who do not have finances or grade point average to get in college. They seem to be the ones that are most susceptible."

This statement pisses me off to no end. I take great offense to this sack of turds statement, and would punch his lights out if given the opportunity. I am willing ot bet that most of the guys I served with are smarter than this idiot. As for the bus, he just ought to paint it pink and yellow.
