OBJECTIVE: “Before You Enlist!” provides a rational voice to counter the seductive and often deceptive recruiting practices of the U.S. military. The message is not “don’t enlist” but rather to provide young people and their families a more complete picture of the life-altering consequences of joining the military – especially in wartime. Release date: September 2006. Length: 14:30.
UPDATE (9/27/06): DVD copies are now available from the AFSC Store – $5 each (including shipping & handling!) or $30 for 10 copies. The program is also freely available for Internet viewing and download.
The video provides a brief introduction to the subject of military enlistment. For in-depth information, visit AFSC's Youth & Militarism site Youth4Peace.org – and the other Truth in Recruiting links listed on this page.
