I was thinking about this when I was reading another thread where a young recruit was questioning some advice that his recruiter had given him. It was bad advice and everyone immediately declared the recruiter a POS who should be crushed. I was thinking that maybe he was a worthless POS or maybe he was a good guy who has been pushed past his limits by the situation he is in. For every guy I have known who had a positive experience as a recruiter, I have known four or five who had negative experiences. When one one perceives their career/livelihood/ability to feed their families going down the drain, especially when it is not their fault, it may very well push them make choices that one might never have even considered before. Some have chosen suicide others choose to give bad advice to potential recruits. The Army recruiting program has been broken for years and I have yet to see any real effort to fix it.
