"Mayor Gavin Newsom says the proposition does not mean that people in San Francisco are Anti-military. He says that people just have concerns about what he calls predatory recruiting."

God I am sick of hearing this lie. I was a recruiter for 4 years and I would hardly call us predatory. We call kids and try to sell them an interview. At the interview we try to see if they would fit in the military (pre-qualify) and see if the military has a program that would benefit them. Then "they" decide if it something they are interested in. Usually we also talk to mom and dad about it(something schools don't often do). We have an all volunteer military. NO ONE has to talk to a recruiter if they don't want to. I'll bet if I went to the school and tried to educate (read recruit) the kids on being gay or lesbian the city and school board would be all for it.

All it takes is one "predatory recruiter" and the rest of you are tarred and feathered.

Thank you for serving, MPJackal. It does no good to in anyway countence any insult coming out of SF. Here's how it plays: SF passes "shadegrown" inits about banning both military recruiters and guns. Usually, military have and own weapons. No? So the deal here is that no one owning guns should be allowed to live in SF. SF doesn't have the cajones to outright ban guns and because they only want to bring in the Feds and Military when required. As in the recent events concerning medical marijuana clinics.

7 of them were taken over by Gangs. SF "leaders" had to call in the FBI to deal with the situation as the med pot users couldn't get to their pot at prices they could afford.

So, you see... these "shadegrown" inits.

This way both the gangs and the Feds can be used for whatever nefarious political games the SF Supes have in mind.

I got calls from recruiters when my 2 oldest were seniors in HS. They graduated a year apart.....during Clintons reign of terror. I explained that my sons would not consider serving under that CIC. The recruiters always laughed and said they understood....
