'Raging Grannies' -- creative protest

"LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Five greying anti-war activists from a group dubbed the 'Raging Grannies' face possible jail time after demanding to be enlisted in the US Army to fight in Iraq, one of them said.

"The women, aged between 57 and 92, were charged with criminal trespass after turning up at an Armed Forces Recruiting Center in the western US state of Arizona demanding they be allowed to join the fighting ranks.

"'We're very serious about that, we really want to enlist,' 74-year-old 'Raging Granny' Betty Schroeder told AFP.

"We think it would be better if old people were killed at war than young ones,' the retired nurse, whose husband and two brothers were killed in battle in other wars, explained.

"Eight 'grannies,' including Schroeder, are accused of invading military territory by entering a military recruiting office in the city of Tucson on July 13 to sign up.
