We Won't Go: The Truth on Military Recruiters & the Draft-A Guide to Resistance by LeiLani Dowell

by LeiLani Dowell

Exploring the myths and realities of military service and recruitment, this handbook addresses the controversial tactics used by recruiters as well as the virtual economic draft created by the lack of job training, education, and opportunity for disadvantaged youth. Sexism, racism, economic inequality, and other forms of oppression and exploitation exacerbated by the inequities of military service are addressed, and the final chapter outlines an action plan for organizing, challenging, and shutting down the recruiting machine in local schools. This book is essential reading for youth who may be approached by military recruiters as well as for parents who want their children to make informed choices about military service.
