I imagine that there are lots more effective places for a recruiter to recruit than Berkeley. I don't question the RIGHT of the Marines to try, but it seems to me that recruiting in Berkeley would be about as useful as advertising arthritis drugs on kiddy cartoon shows.
If I had stock in the arthritis drug manufacturing company, I think it would be rational to inform the Board of Directors, or the Advertising department that they are wasting their money.
If the goal of the Marines is to recruit, I think they would be better off moving their office elsewhere.
If their goal is to stand up to the antiwar people of Berkeley, then they should stay. But if they are not recruiting successfully, I, as a taxpayer, think that this is rather dumb.
