Look at it this way, though, your solution is to punish the bad apples... but the military has had ample time to do that and it hasn't happened. As DC cited, over 6,660 alleged incidents of recruiter irregularities have occurred and nothing has been done about it.
Speaking on behalf of myself and my friendly, flower loving friends at Berkeley: we'd be overjoyed if the military punished these people. Unfortunately, that just doesn't seem to be happening and it's because there isn't enough pressure on the military. How does one apply pressure? Media coverage. How does one get media coverage? Outrageous behavior. This is Liberalism 101. Does Berkeley expect to win? Of course not. It'd be funny, but it's not legal. What has happened, though is people are talking about it. This will be post #167. The more people talk about the recruiters lying, the more pressure there will be for the military to do the right thing.
