Army Recruiters Accused of Misleading Students to Get Them to Enlist

Seems to me they're just stealing a page from the Bush Administration playbook. When the facts aren't in your favor - just lie. They bank on the overwhelming ignorance of the populace to carry them through.

An ABC News undercover investigation showed Army recruiters telling students that the war in Iraq was over, in an effort to get them to enlist.

ABC News and New York affiliate WABC equipped students with hidden video cameras before they visited 10 Army recruitment offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

"Nobody is going over to Iraq anymore?" one student asks a recruiter.

"No, we're bringing people back," he replies.

"We're not at war. War ended a long time ago," another recruiter says.

Last year, the Army suspended recruiting nationwide to retrain recruiters following hundreds of allegations of improprieties.
