U.S. Army Recruits Youths for Iraq Non-War

This ABC News segment <http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story? id=2626032&page=1> on outrageously dishonest Army recruiters in the tri-state area is funny enough to make Michael Moore crawl into his grave, just so he can spin there. College kids equipped with hidden cameras were sent into various Army recruiting offices to get the lowdown on signing up; in addition to claiming that the Iraq was is over, a couple recruiters were so jocular and dismissive of death in general that it's hard to believe they weren't in on the joke. Watch for the guy who compares his love for Subway sandwiches to your relative chance of being killed on the subway, and thus, your small chance of being killed in Iraq. Get it?
