About This Podcast

When you know the whole story, have all the information and understand your role,  you can make an informed decision about your next step. 


Military recruiters and military marketing campaigns prey upon unsuspecting high school students, turning their goals and dreams against them and tool for the government military system. 


Military Illumination is a grass roots effort to empower people, especially high school students to make informed choices about military enlistment. Through experiences, case studies, stories, evidence, military action and historical data, we provide a network of information and alternatives geared to illuminate the deception of the military complex system. 


  Sharing information that the military do not want the public to know, but crucial to making a decision to enlist in the military.
