So by reading this i am to assume that you do not like the fact that the military has the right to public records of students.
If I am correct in that statement.
Is it the fact that you are not happy with a percived violation of the students freedoms, or are you disenchanted with the whole military/industrial complex, and hence not happy with any actions they take for recruitment.
Let me put it in this light.
The military being a valid choice for student to persue as a career after high school is just like any other post secondary facility. They have to recruit to get the best. Colleges have access to loads of student data to recruit student for sports and academic scholarships. The military being a competing entity to get the best and the brightest should have the same access.
I look at it from that light. It is then up to the one being recruited. to make up their mind weather the want the education to continue in a 4 year learning institution or the school of life where the penalties for failing are a bit higher.
One final comment to consider also. In the past almost 4 years since 9/11 all branches of the military have been at or near the goals for recruitment. Most of it has been by people walking into enlistment offices not recruiters going out to them.
Just the way I see things from my side of the glass.
