Your government (as well as mine) are engaging in not merely illegal, but barbaric practices in so far as `recruiting' is concerned. The longer such practices are permitted to continue, the more that the perpetrators are allowed to become emboldened by their successes lack of criminal sanction. Given enough time, these people will, for all intents and purposes, be unstoppable and will come to view their ability and right to subvert, coerce, enlist, steal, threaten, and manipulate as evidence, prima facia, of their natural superiority over the very people they should be protecting from the very threat which they now pose. John is completely correct. The current practices as they pertain to `recruiting' are utterly odious and abhorrent and should be exposed and halted. > There ain't nobody here but us chickens.
