Anticipating protest, Seattle recruiters to close Saturday
Recruiters in metropolitan Seattle plan to close up shop Saturday in anticipation of a protest march bound for their station.

The rare closing on a Saturday will come a day after the nationwide stand-down ordered by Army Recruiting Command in response to accusations that recruiters cheated in order to enlist otherwise ineligible individuals into the Army.

“Counter-recruitment organizations across the country, including Youth Against War and Racism , have made the call for actions on May 20-21 to say ‘one day is not enough,’” a flier promoting the protest reads.

6. How many US military fatalities will it take....
A. Before Congress moves to reinstate the draft.

B. Before Joe six-pack puts down the remote and asks, "Hey now, just what the fuck is going on here?"
