Given that Portland Oregon is a bastion of leftist socialism liberals, rivaled only by Seattle and San Francisco, I have a hard time accepting the story as written. Parts may be somewhat true, but when it comes to bashing our Military, I don't trust anything that comes out in the Oregonian.
The Oregonian and the Columbian are the two papers offered here and I refuse to buy either one.
As written, there is no need to investigate anything, the recruiter should be hanged, plain and simple. Truth or outcome of an investigation be d*mned.
