An ABC News undercover investigation showed Army recruiters telling students that the war in Iraq was over, in an effort to get them to enlist.

ABC News and New York affiliate WABC equipped students with hidden video cameras before they visited 10 Army recruitment offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.


"Nobody is going over to Iraq anymore?" one student asks a recruiter.


"No, we're bringing people back," he replies.


"We're not at war. War ended a long time ago," another recruiter says.

7. I thought that too.

Yoko should buy billboards around the country with that. She's about to make a large sum of money off of John from lawsuits against EMI (they cheated the Beatles out of $25 million.) I don't know what she does with her money but I say this would be a good way to use it.

And they get them to sign on the dotted line before you can talk to them!!!

I wonder if the recruiters feel that they are doing the right thing.

8. The recruiters are despicable, but these kids . . .
