Storyboard Text
- We are really in need of more military service. We need to prove to others just how strong we are.

- No, I am simply protecting my people and bringing peace and freedom back home
- Violence solves nothing and is completely unjustifiable under any circumstances.
- Peace isn't attained through conflict. It is obtained by creating positive relations with other nations and by assisting each other in times of need.
- Joe does not understand Michael's initial point so Michael tries rephrasing his point.
