U.S. Army turns to Disney for help

The U.S. Army is paying Disney $800,000 to turn frowns upside down at Walter Reed Hospital. Can it be long before Disney is helping to win hearts and minds in Iraq and Afghanistan, too?

The Mouse

Hello Blake! Long time listener first time caller.

Is there nothing Mickey Mouse can't do? From defeating Steamboat Willy, to defeating the Communists, to help us win the hearts and minds of terrorists?

The Creator

Walt was a well known anti-Semite. Maybe Mickey Mouse really CAN help us win over the hearts and minds of terrorists.

Disney & U.S. govt

As Blake reported previously(http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/node/6758), with its "Welcome: Portraits of America" video to be shown in airports at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security, this won't be the first time Disney has collaborated with the U.S. government. And it probably won't be the last.
