Armed Forces Operations and Deployments

Description

Television footage shows tanks rolling and soldiers marching, depicting real members of the military. President Bartlet watches these images in the Oval Office late at night, set against a VCR tape of wooden toy soldiers rewinding and playing. The stark contrast drives home the human cost of armed forces involvement, shifting Bartlet's reflection into action as he picks up the phone to call Leo McGarry.
