This is a grest video that peirces many of the lies of the recruiter and tells the true story about class stratification in the United States.

5. This is powerful and affecting. Is it on DVD? |
|
The point is that only fairly well-off people with fast Internet can see this on YouTube. The people who don't have high-speed are the ones who need to see it, and they generally have DVD players.
If they release a DVD, with permission to copy and distribute, anyone with a modest computer could turn out a bunch of these and freely distribute them to the folks who need it. Maybe even just outside recruiting centers. (Heck, they could be made into Video CD's, which DVD players can play, and are even cheaper than using DVD disks.)

10. I sent the link to my nephew. |
|
I hope he watches it. He was only twelve(ish) when this stupid war started and at the time I was already concerned about him. I found out he's thinking about enlisting. Sigh. :(
