#39 - Chuck E. Cheese Recruiting Little Soldiers

Chuck E. Cheese has taken up the patriotic frenzy by including a two minute video clip of soldiers in Iraq that is broadcast during little kids' birthday parties:

t r u t h o u t - Victoria Harper Babes in Warland

According to journalist, Dr. Michael I. Niman, the above story is , indeed, true, although some of the details are not exactly accurate.

Chuck E. Cheese is showing a two minute (not five minute) clip of American soldiers distributung toys and candy to Iraqi children and then sequencing to images of tanks and war planes.

The clip was not funded by the Department of Defense, Chuck E. Cheese Productions created this video segment on their own!

Would someone please tell me what the dink is going on?
