How far will U.S. Army recruiters go to bring young men and women into their ranks? An Arvada West High School senior recently decided to find out. The following is CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger's report..

ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4) -- Last month the U.S. Army failed to meet its goal of 6,800 new troops.

Aware of this trend, David McSwane, a local high school student, decided he wanted to find out to what extent some recruiters would go to sign up soldiers who were not up to grade.

McSwane, 17, is actually just the kind of teenager the military would like. He's a high school journalist and honor student at Arvada West High School. But McSwane decided he wanted to see "how far the Army would go during a war to get one more solider."

This is a cool service. Saves me the hassle of having to compile these articles on my own. Each of these voices ought to be amplified as much as possible. We're up against a difficult opponent - entrenched mainstream media. These sort of articles need to be ubiquitous. So much so that even the morons, whenever they go online, will stumble across one.
