[Servant of the 9]

I have no problem with telling kids the truth - you think that's all the NYT is doing with this story - some genuine, heartfelt, public service announcement?

No, they have an agenda, but it takes a lot of left wing blather to balance the lying BS put out by most recruiters.
Do you really think a recruiter gives a damn about anything but meeting his quota, no matter what he has to say to do it?

If a recruiter is lying, he should be fired (or worse).

Now that's a pretty ignorant thing to say.

Got any specifics, other than a whine about how YOUR recruiter lied to YOU?

My experience in recruiting was that
A) 19 year olds are not always honest;
B) 19 year olds don't always listen;
C) 19 year olds often only hear what they want to hear.

With the manadtory use of audio/video technology in the recruiting system for at least 20 years, anyone that doesn't know what they are getting into is probably too dense to actually be in uniform.

Real liars are a rare exception and get dealt with via UCMJ.

You seem to be carrying a lot of baggage. Want to tell us about it?
