Mun2 takes a closer look at the options young Latinos face upon graduating high school and the pros and cons of enlistment in the United States Armed Forces. This hour-long report, that won a Peabody Award in 2007, chronicles the personal experiences of Mexican-born Diego Sosa, a 21-year-old from East Los Angeles, who was retired from active duty in the Marine Corps following a severe leg injury. We explore his story in light of military recruitment on high school campuses, boot camp training and what officials are saying in the halls of the Pentagon about America’s fastest-growing demographic.
