This just in from the supreme court.


Quote
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that universities that get federal funds must allow military recruiters on campus, even if their law schools oppose the Pentagon's policy prohibiting openly gays and lesbians from serving.

The high court upheld as constitutional a federal law dating back to 1994 that allows the government to withhold money from universities that deny military recruiters the same access to campuses given to other employers.

Now the whole Gays in the military aside (because that's a different issue in and of itself.....I'm glad this ruling came out the way it did.  Prohibiting recruiters from doing their job because you don't like the pentagon's policy is dumb IMHO.

Are there any hippies around still?  I thought that was Vietnam era jargon.

Naw the Army gets their fresh meat by forging highschool diplomas. The Marines get their guys in the bar. They sign up for 4 years active duty and a one night stand.  :D

This just proves you know nothing about hippies.  They were never about entitlement, in fact they were extremely libertarian. Communes didn't subsist on welfare.

Lets see here............... if military recruiters are in colleges now, trying to get peopel to join the Army, wouldn't a college student have the common sense to either join the military or not join the military and go to a recruiting office if they wanted to join?
