Reply #1: A truth in recruiting law [View All]

Here's what I propose.

Recruiters must tell possible recruits the truth about the military. If they do not, it can be grounds for voiding the enlistee's contract.

Second, I would require that all recruits under the age of 21 be required to get the signature of a lawyer. The lawyer, who would not be affilliated with the government in any way, would sign a statement certifiying that he or she explained the various provisions of the enlistment contract to the person, his/her rights and the military's rights under the contract. Too many young people, kids really, with no experience with contracts are hoodwinked into signing their lives away and they don't know what they are getting themselves into.
