Vandals Attack Milwaukee Army Recruiting Center … Again

Anti-war messages were scrawled across the front of an Army recruiting center on the city’s east side as the war an Iraq marks its fifth year today.
Milwaukee police said today that the building, 3133 N. Oakland Ave., was vandalized between 8 p.m. Monday and 8 p.m. on Tuesday with graffiti across the front three windows and brick trim. The front door glass was also shattered.
Vandals wrote, “Expect resistance,” “War is offensive” and “Five years too many” across the building, which was also vandalized about a year ago as well as at least once in 2003.
Police are still seeking those responsible for the most recent damage.
Good luck with that. The JS links to an Indymedia Milwaukee website where a member or something has posted pictures of the vandalism.
This is, of course, the same location where a group called “Milwaukee Coalition for a Just Peace” held an anti-war rally just a few days ago at which Marquette’s own Saddam apologist, Simon Harak, and Milwaukee Congresswoman Gwen Moore attended.
The rally was previewed in the recent Shepherd Express story, filled to the brim with mindless cliches, about Harak.
Harak goes after former U.S. State Department Secretary Albright again in this piece. It would astonish me that Harak places so much vitriol on Madeline Albright were I not to appreciate the depth of bipartisanship in Harak’s hatred for the United States and U.S. military forces.
It might be worth going through the piece, but honestly, how many different ways exist for Harak and his ilk to say substantively nothing?
Regarding the vandalism, I have to wonder if ultimately the same Simon Harak who would argue that Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait was justified and who cooed about Saddam that, “People actually sing songs to him on television. His picture hangs everywhere.” wouldn’t also justify a little intimidation of local Army recruiters to make a point.

Here is one area in which we can agree (not with the war, mind you, but with the vandalism of the recruiting center). It is such a infantile and counter-productive action that hurts “ONLY” the local owner of that property. Now that man must pay to repair the damages, again, because some 19-year-old vegan hipster decided to play anarchist and spraypaint some meaningless slogans. Good job, kids.

I agree, Evan, and so it seems did a couple posters on Indymedia. Too bad.

How could these miscreants make a connection between this recruiting center and the war they supposedly don’t like?

I love the way in which the anti war movement continually stresses their support for the troops over their hatred of the war effort. I think this and other incidents are an accurate gauge of just how much they truly support our troops.

I was going to join the Army until I saw the message splayed across the recruiting station. They have changed my mind with the weight of their message and logic of their arguments. Who would ever consider serving in the armed forces after such an epiphany?
The mysterious partisans of truth are real patriots that understand that supporting the troops means attacking everything a solider stands for and ensuring that all their buddies died in vain. Only then will they realize their role in the greatest crime since the holocaust.
I for one applaud this secretive, covert group of freedom fighters and thank them for saving me from a horrible, horrible life of furthering George W. Bush’s war of white-man imperialism and genocide against all manner (and shades) of brown people.
I also give major kudos to the Shepard Express for its fair and balanced look at the situation (of course its the Army’s fault, they had to locate that station there didn’t they? Don’t they know no one likes them?) and for its moving portrayal of the anti-war movement and the true patriots of this nation.
I am also heartened that Gwen Moore is involved with these persons of patriotism and that she has given legitimacy and dignity to their methods and cause.
Truly a great event for America!
