A recruiter is a salesperson. They are often charming, effective, and knowledgeable representatives of that for which they recruit. Hotly debated is whether young people should be exposed to very skilled recruiters of the armed forces. This well balanced volume gives both sides of the argument, that military recruiters actually save teens who do not have options, or that these recruiters exploit teen vulnerabilities to gain a recruit. Other issues debated are whether recruiters should have access to student information, whether schools should ban military recruiters, whether military recruitment will save certain doomed youth, and whether the media is biased against military recruitment.
