In Iowa City, City High had about 700 students — nearly half the student body — choose to withhold student information from the directory or specifically from military recruiters, while West High had about 600 students choose one of those two options. Both numbers are huge increases over prior years.
I remember when counter-recruiting was considered downright radical. It's still risky to criticize the institution of the military in polite company, but when it comes to the specifics, perceptions may finally be shifting. Guess all it takes is a war.
