If you are world-famous rock video director Samuel Bayer (pictured above), what do you shoot after filming Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” as well as every single video from Green Day’s “American Idiot”? The obvious answer: shoot at those very same teens who buy those records and get a job with the US Army to direct their “Army Strong” propaganda.

Way to go Samuel, doing it for the kids never meant so much!!
