Military Recruiters: Criminal, Abusive or Suspect Activity

Eight-year Chronological Review of Public Reports as of August 28, 2009

Compiled by Learning Not Recruiting – Toledo, Ohio

By no means should this compilation be considered a definitive report covering all cases of criminal, abusive or

suspect activity by military recruiters or the recruiting command. For example, in 2004 the Army alone selfreported

over 325 cases of recruiter fraud, with only 35 recruiters relieved of duty (see CBS News report dated July

14, 2005). Self-reported Department of Defense records show that rapes or sexual assaults by military recruiters

numbered at least 100 in 2005 (see Kansas City Star report dated August 20, 2006). Our margins in compiling are a

result of existing limitations in media database research vs. the military’s access to their own records. All reports

we cite have been saved.

This compilation was created to visibly support the widely-held opposition to military recruiters having

federally-forced access to youth via schools and access to youth throughout their communities, largely due to

exorbitant military recruiting budgets.
