US military recruiters have come under fire for dodgy recruitment tactics before, like the recent case in which an autistic teen was enlisted as a cavalry scout (he was later released), but a six-month Associated Press investigation has uncovered something well beyond questionably ethical tactics: “More than 100 young women who expressed interest in joining the military in the past year were preyed upon sexually by their recruiters. Women were raped on recruiting office couches, assaulted in government cars and groped en route to entrance exams.”
Via Freedom of Information Act requests, the AP learned that at least 35 Army recruiters, 18 Marine Corps recruiters, 18 Navy recruiters, and 12 Air Force recruiters “were disciplined for sexual misconduct or other inappropriate behavior with potential enlistees in 2005,” with most of the victims being between 16 and 18 years old, usually recruited at their high schools.
