I know a father who is hostile toward his three teenage daughters. (He has full custody after a divorce and his ex-wife has been thwarted from seeing her children.) The middle daughter was entering her freshman year in college. She had a trust fund set aside by her grandfather to pay for her education, but this man squandered the money on himself and his new wife and thus could not pay for the tuition. In order to cover his tracks, he secretly enlisted his daughter in the military in order that they pay for the tuition. I am serious. When she found out, she freaked and understood that Iraq was a real possibility. She was able to get out of the enlistment by the fact that she herself did not sign up with her signature. Her father wanted her to do this, but she outright refused. She is now on scholarship and just finished her junior year. I don't know what happened after that.
