The women are "pretty thoroughly anti-war; we're concerned about the environment and what's happening to civil liberties," said Patricia Birnie, a spokeswoman for the group.

Birnie was with the women when they entered a recruiting center on July 13, but was not cited.

She said two recruiters told the group not to enter, but the women said they had come to enlist, read a statement and sang two protest songs. By the time they returned to the sidewalk outside, police had arrived.

The Raging Grannies have protested outside the recruitment center on Wednesdays for the past three years, and contend that recruits have been lied to, Birnie said.

The women were serious about enlisting, she added. "We feel that our lives are pretty well used up and that the young people so many times are killed in battle or come home traumatized," she said.

Not cool. This was a Michael Moore-esque publicity stunt.

Well no **** it's a publicity stunt. But you could also look at it, they're saying more young people should join

They are free to protest all they want.
