US Anti-War Grannies Face Justice

That's the title of a news item on BBC News. I for one applaud their efforts. These grannies have been protesting outside of a Recruitment Center every week for three whole years. They got tired of that. So, instead of protesting inside it, they went inside to sign up to be recruited. The army claimed that they weren't serious, rather just harassing recruiters, but the article addresses that:

[Ms Birnie] said the charge was an "overreaction", and that the grannies had been serious about joining the army."We would like to replace our young who are in the firing line," Ms Birnie said.

Go grannies!
