Veterans for Peace has a long and diverse history of Counter-recruitment

Veterans for Peace has been an important contributor to the history of counter-recruitment groups and individuals raising public concerns about the culturally militarizing effect that Pentagon recruitment efforts have on our youth. VFP speaks with authority to young people from personal experience and unapologetically raise their voices against the moral corruption of our war making complex.
