Quote "The initiative lists complaints against the military including the invasion of Iraq, abuses at Abu Ghraib, discrimination based on sexual orientation and recruiters who mislead potential recruits about benefits and duties."
One of the things people have been protesting, is the invasion of Iraq. The recruitment had absolutely nothing to do with the invasion. War protesters forget this and the military men and women pay the protest price. When they sign up and raise their right hand and swear, they have already been told they may not come back some day. They chose to enlist. After that, they are told what to do. Support the men and women, whether you are against the invasion or not.
If I recall correctly, the people involved in the Abu Ghraib were dealt with accordingly. This was an isolated incident and each incident is handled individually. The four who were involved in the Abu Ghraib case have been charged according to the part they played in the abuse.
Lastly, in the article, there is no supporting evidence of, "recruiters who mislead potential recruits about benefits and duties." This is simply a statement that was thrown out there and added to the list.
