According to <a href="http://www.catholicpeacefellowship.org/print.asp?m=2303">an article</a> on the <a href="http://www.catholicpeacefellowship.org">Catholic Peace Fellowship</a> website: <blockquote>Last Friday, May 20th, the U.S. Army ordered its 7,500 recruiters to participate in what it called a “values stand down day.” During this day, recruiters quit their desperate attempts to lure young people into the Army and instead gathered with other recruiters to watch a video from the Army’s senior recruiting officer Maj. Gen Michael Rochelle, reaffirm their oath to the Army, and discuss recruiting practices. The reason for this highly publicized stand down day was the hundreds of recent allegations of misconduct made against recruiters. Everything from threatening young folks with arrest, to helping possible recruits cheat on drug tests. Such allegations were not surprising to us. Our work answering calls from the GI Rights Hotline brings us into contact daily with young folks who tell stories of recruiters lying and threatening them with imprisonment or with a ruined future if they do not enlist. Others tell us of promises made by recruiters about life in the military, promises that they realize are false as soon as they arrive at boot camp.</blockquote> <a href="http://jimstroud.com/manifesto/2005/05/why-manifesto.html" rel="nofollow">This guy</a> draws some parallels between military and civilian recruiting, and the ethical lapses of recruiters.
