This is horrifying but understandable, still, I seriously doubt that it will deter anyone from joining the military and or spur any mass protests against the war mongering machine.

Now, this is what I call investigative reporting and journalism at its best - yet, the corporate media has refused to even acknowlege it.

BTW, I wonder if they've put out the second part to this report yet?
