Looking at the situation, there is simply no way for the recruiter to know that the kid won't go to Iraq. Considering what I've seen happen to my high school buddies, it's very likely that the young man would have been in Iraq had he signed up. Fortunately, I was there and gave him more complete answers including, "It's entirely possible that if you were to sign up you'd be stationed somewhere in Iraq."
Tully, thanks for coming forward. I hope your daughter is safe in her service.
