Every day in the United States, military recruiters enter the halls of high schools equipped with a goodie bag of promises and free copies of the US Army's official new video game America's Army. Assurances of non-combat positions and college money made largely to teens of colour and low-income communities rarely materialize upon real-life service. Army of None is a comprehensive guide to counter-recruitment campaigns, from personal counselling to legislative change to direct action. Contains compelling photos and artwork, spoken word, sample fact sheets and more.
