Not all recruiting people are jerks.

At the time of the Vietnam fiasco, a son (born in U. S. but living in Canada) wanted to join the war. The recruiting officer (in a Texas city) told him to get his tail back across the border. If he still wanted the military, get his college degree and then apply.

I agree that the Recruiting Office head should be contacted. As a soldier, he could be a danger to the people serving with him. Recruits go through a sketchy psychological appraisal, but this is poor unless medical history is available to the examiner.
