Before You Enlist (2018)

Telequest, Inc. on June 16, 2018

“Before You Enlist!” (2018) 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.

Produced by Telequest, Inc. with support from the American Friends Service Committee and National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY).
