Military recruitment extravaganza coming to Rochester
Primary tabs
Terrible Terrible News
The US Army's traveling recruitment show "Spirit of America" is in Rochester Sept. 12th & 13th.
This is pure recruitment, under the guise of fancy multimedia theatrics, glossy brochures and lure of history education to schools. Keep them out!
The "show" will be in Worcester, MA the following week. Spirit of America came to Worcester on Sept. 11th, 2004. Recruiters bird dogged the youth that were bussed from cash strapped schools from miles away. It was worse than we imagined.
Worcester is just gearing up to organize a response, more details soon at Worcester Indymedia.
Here are links to the original stories, photos and videos from Sept. 2004
