I remember seeing that same video, or one very, very similar, several years ago.  Part of a early 90's Star Wars development progam, IIRC.
I think someone has been recycling old DoD videos, putting new credits on them, and posting them on YouTube.
And somebody else bit...

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

That is cool!  This is the type of work I want to do once I finish my MS, which is hopefully in June.
