Recruiters molest, rape potential enlistees

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

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.

A six-month Associated Press investigation found that more than 80 military recruiters were disciplined last year for sexual misconduct with potential enlistees. The cases occurred across all branches of the military and in all regions of the country.

''This should never be allowed to happen,'' said one 18-year-old victim. ''The recruiter had all the power. He had the uniform. He had my future. I trusted him.''

Is this what Rahm Emanuel and Bruce Reed mean by universal service?
