NEW YORK — The Marines didn't have to recruit Greg McCullough. He signed a promise to enlist last year, while he was still in high school. But now McCullough has had second thoughts, and he's talking to a different kind of recruiter.
Jim Murphy is a "counter-recruiter," one of a small but growing number of opponents of the Iraq war who say they want to compete with military recruiters for the hearts and minds of young people.

Here We Go Again
Well I keep hearing the "protest" of the 1960(s) and early 70(s) will not be repeated, "it is not the same" -- but "things" keep pointing to the opposite. Last month we had the students that seemed coached in writing unpleasant letters, we have the "intentionally shooting journalist" claim, we have the "intentionally shooting civilians" claim and we have a story about "counter-recruiters". So how about reforming hippies you don't think this is sounding familiar and is all an effort to destroy military moral and citizens opinion of the military. Just curious?
