Iraq Veterans Against the War plans to step up efforts to undermine military recruiting efforts in the coming year.

In September, the organization launches a “truth in recruiting” campaign. The campaign will include antiwar outreach into high schools and community colleges, protests at recruiting stations, and efforts to “make friends with a recruiter,” whereby a person who is not interested in military service contacts a recruiter in order to waste his time and prevent him from encouraging others to join the ranks.

Over 3,707 U.S. soldiers have died since the Iraq war began four years ago. Some 20 percent of soldiers have suffered brain trauma, spinal injuries or amputations; another 20 percent have suffered other major injuries such as blindness, partial blindness or deafness, and serious burns.

Hundreds of thousands have already submitted disability claims with the United States Veterans Administration.
