Personally I don't have any strong convictions one way or another about this story. It the military is dumb enough to think a bunch of university kids, who tend to be left-leaning and feeling their oats, are a prime recruitment target then that's their business. And I doubt these university kids will be hoodwinked by a slick recruiter. So it's pretty much a tempest in a tea cup. The move smacks of poltical grandstanding by the UVic SS however, which is never a good image to project by an organization ... not if that organization wants to be taken seriously.
