English: *Counter-Recruiting at Wal-Mart: **Raging Grannies Protest Marine Corps

Recruiting Videos*

• May 28, 2005*
• On memorial day weekend the Peninsula Raging Grannies and friends

counter-recruited outside the Mountain View, California Wal-Mart using songs, chants, and the general, all-in-good-fun,raucous behavior the Grannies are known for.*

• Protesting the showing of Marine Corps recruiting videos the Grannies

chanted and sang such things as "Hear closely what recruiters say. They will trick you anyway. Wal-Mart give them free air time. We think that's a corporate crime." and "Mine eyes have seen the coming of recruitment TV ands. They are shown throughout this Wal-Mart store and it make the Grannies mad!"
