The recruiters should let him sign the contract 1 second before he turns 18.
I did the same thing, as did many other of the guys with me who went to Army basic in 1990. The only problem is that the movie conditioned us to say "SIR" before and after every sentence. We didn't realize that was a Marine thing and that Army Drill Sergeants get quite offended when you call them "Sir". I got dropped more than a few times in the 1st couple days of basic for making that mistake.
Sounds like abuse of process to me.
holy crap!
Liberal men have no testosterone.
Exactly. I thought lawyers were all about the cash. There is no way there isn’t cash to be made standing up for what is right.
But then, there are a lot of ‘John Edwards’ out there sucking up all the legal oxygen...
Many did...and we owe them a debt of gratitude.

Dear Commissioner Mackel:
I am deeply offended by the sentiments you expressed during your recent decision in the matter of Shawn Sage. Your statements, as reported in the Los Angeles Daily News, were deplorable and far beneath what citizens should be able to expect of their court officers.
(...)
You reportedly stated that you denied this young man's request to enlist early in the Marine Corps because you did not support the Iraq War, did not trust military recruiters, and did not support the military...
You owe this young man, the recruiter, the Marine Corps, the people you serve, and the American people an apology...
Contact information for this poor excuse for a judge is as follows:
