Army Recruiting Station Vandalized

By Jay Sorgi

People driving by the Army Recruiting Station on Milwaukee's east side are finding it boarded up with a vandal's message on the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War.

Vandals put graffiti saying "War Is Offensive" and broke windows at the facility on the 3100 block of North Oakland Avenue, near the UWM campus. 

Officials there later boarded up the windows.  A man who works in the area said he saw anti-war slogans written on the windows also.

This is not the first time the place has been vandalized. 

Last year, on the same Iraq war anniversary, police arrested 21 people for an attack with smoke bombs while throwing paint at the facility.
