Content:
Mixed Signals contains specific information on the
enlistment contract, benefits and obligations. It
proposes alternative sources of college money and job
training, and non-violent forms of community service.
Stories about fictional characters alternate with
illustrated fact-sheets about military life and
non-military opportunities. It questions today's
militaristic climate by raising the issue of
conscientious objection, through a fictional
character, then two recent cases and a brief history.
The comic offers useful, concrete, legal facts, as
well as prompting deeper reflection on the role of
militarism in our lives and society. Mixed Signals
takes vital information from flyers and web sites, and
puts it in an appealing, easy-to-pass-along format, to
catch the eyes of our most vulerable young citizens.
