Minnesota's Fox 9 ran a story investigating the lies told by military recruiters to convince kids to enlist. They picked up the story thanks in part to all the work that we have done through YAWR (Youth Against War and Racisim) exposing the lies of recruiters. They decided to investigate whether what we were saying was true, and found that yes, it was - that recruiters routinely lie about the money you will make, the college money available, the jobs you can get, whether you will be sent to Iraq, etc. The video features interviews with Ty and Peter as well as coverage of the YAWR youth contingent on March 15th and the protest at the University of Minnesota on March 27th.
