Actually, my point (which people here decided to miss) is that recruiters often try to benefit themselves rather than the people being recruited. That's why it should surprise no one that it happens in the military, which is composed of human beings just like every other human endeavor is. Obviously the military isn't like a union - the military is the one government function that everyone (even hardcore libertarians) agrees is something that government should be handling rather than private enterprise. That doesn't mean there won't be human failings associated with it just as there are with anything else.
