Following a number of recent scandals, the US military says it has halted active recruiting today to give additional training to recruiters. In recent months, recruiters have been exposed for asking teens to lie to their parents, guiding recruits through duping the drug-test system, lying to recruits about the risks they would face in Iraq. One Houston-area recruiter was caught on tape threatening jail time if a recruit didn’t keep his appointment. The US military is facing its greatest recruitment crisis in history.
