Army Recruiters Accused of Misleading Students to Get Them to Enlist

Nov. 3, 2006 — - An ABC News undercover investigation showed Army recruiters telling students that the war in Iraq was over, in an effort to get them to enlist.

ABC News and New York affiliate WABC equipped students with hidden video cameras before they visited 10 Army recruitment offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

"Nobody is going over to Iraq anymore?" one student asks a recruiter.

"No, we're bringing people back," he replies.

"We're not at war. War ended a long time ago," another recruiter says.

1. To hell with the students, have they no respect for their

dead and wounded brothers and sisters in arms?!

Yeah, it's a rhetorical.

2. How do they convince them? Do they play the clip of Bush on the Lincoln

with the banner "Mission Accomplished" in the background, and Bush saying "Major combat operations are over"?
