“The real deal on joining the military, as told by veterans … and what the military recruiters won’t tell you.”
“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.

“Courage To Resist accomplishes one part of this program of resistance by speaking for and defending the brave souls in the military who do not wish to be part of the perfidy of this administration. It behooves us to do all we can to support Courage To Resist with money and with spine.”
The message should be don’t enlist.
Maybe so. However, it’s often more helpful to give someone info vs. telling them what they can, or can’t, do. Another reason for the title is that it’s easier for teachers to show an “informational” video in class vs. an “anti-military” video.
