RETIRE AND JOIN THE ARMY Pt. II

From your Chicago Sun-Times:

A group of anti-war senior citizens calling themselves the Tucson Raging Grannies say they want to enlist in the U.S. Army and go to Iraq so their children and grandchildren can come home.

Five members of the group -- which is associated with the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom -- are due in court Monday to face trespassing charges after trying to enlist at a military recruitment center last week.

The group has protested every week for the last three years outside the recruitment center.

"We went in asking to be sent to Iraq so our kids and grandchildren can be sent home, but rather than listening to us, they called the police," said 74-year-old Betty Schroeder. "It was their place to tell us the qualifications, but they wouldn't even speak to us. They should've said, 'You're too old.' "
