I'm not sure where I stand on this one. Yes I'm anti-military, but this gets into free speech territory. But then free speech is a slippery slope as well. On one hand I say let the military recruit, but on the other hand where does it stop? What if the Heritage Front wanted to recruit at UVic?
Thoughts?
